Participants described how their previous experiences of both clinical services and involvement exercises shaped their expectations. For me, this brings a risk that service delivery and co-production will exist in a vicious cycle that requires proactive effort to shift.
We also heard that those involved were able to acknowledge and utilise their multiple identities; young person, parent, service user, clinician, teacher, learner, expert, human being. Being supported to do this was invaluable.
Despite bringing different perspectives, young people, carers and clinicians were able to develop a sense of shared purpose; "we’re all in the same boat". This demonstrates that collaborative involvement across groups can be effective when it feels safe and supported.
We have developed a leaflet with the key themes to support current and future #CAMHS involvement activities. Link below - feel free to download and share. DM me if you’d like a format for printing as a leaflet

It was great to work with @DrJasmineHearn and our lead author, @SFIdrees of the @MMUPathway MSc.
Thankful for the support and input of @PennineCareNHS @HealthyYM @MMUHPSC @FBMH_UoM @NIHRinvolvement and of course the people that shared their experiences and expertise.
The involvement exercise helped us to develop a support package for staff that we are soon to evaluate. Follow @StudyTric for more info and watch this space…..
