For the past year, 11 student partners have been involved in a co-produced project to evaluate the Greater Manchester Universities Student Mental Health Service. Now we're opening up and sharing our experiences with co-production: what it is, why it works, and the empowerment we've found as a result.
Special thanks to the University of Manchester for supporting this evaluation project and to the Office for Students for funding it.
