Collaboration for Mental Wealth in Moray: A Community Research Network (CRN)

​

Hosted by Moray Wellbeing Hub, this network is a collection of partners from the community of Moray (and immediate surrounding areas) who are researching what works well in creating mental wealth in Moray through the co-creation of solutions and community-driven action. Partners include: Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI), Networks of Wellbeing (NOW), Moray Art Development Engagement (MADE), tsiMORAY, Science Ceilidh, Arrows and The Three Kings Cullen Association.

​

The network’s defining feature is the mobilisation of knowledge held by Moray’s diverse rural community to create and sustain mental wealth for all. By connecting, empowering, and supporting collaboration across the network, we will continue to explore, test and assess new approaches which will stimulate community engagement in research.​​​
