Phase 3 of Researching Evidence-based Alternatives in Living, Imaginative, Traumatised, Integrated, Embodied Systems

The project will explore how changes to health and social care systems can benefit deprived communities and people with experience of trauma, homelessness, poverty, unemployment, displacement, poor mental health or imprisonment. Their work includes understanding what is needed to build systems that create health and wellbeing. It explores and explains how creativity, relationships and nature create healthier and more resilient communities and environments for people in deprived areas.

Working with early-career researchers and community-embedded researchers across Clackmannanshire, Dundee, Easter Ross, Edinburgh and North Lanarkshire, it will support communities to build new systems based on their local needs to best support improved health and wellbeing.
