About the Series

We provide education to developing researchers interested in studying health disparities, social determinants of health, and the physical health needs of diverse people with mental illnesses. Our followers use this learning space to access expert researchers. They also connect with other new researchers looking to develop their skills and portfolios.

How Does it Work?

We offer Ask Me Anything about Integrated Health Research sessions on Twitter. Our Chats feature well-known mental health services researchers.

​Using a slow-motion format, followers ask questions and engage in the content over the course of one month. This unique method allows ample time for followers to ask experts questions, while offering their own resources and support to each other. No question is inconsequential in this learning space!

How Do I Join the Conversation?

For each Chat at @TalkMHResearch, submit questions via tweet or direct messaging (DM) at any time throughout the month the Chat is offered. You also can submit questions below for the featured researcher to answer during each Chat.
