We are so proud that this Mental Elf website has grown over the last few years to become one of the leading mental health research blogs. Our success is largely due to the amazing group of people who have contributed to the site. Our merry band of elves includes hundreds of mental health experts: people with lived experience, clinicians, practitioners, researchers, policy makers and many many more.
Today we are honouring all of our bloggers and saying a big THANK YOU for the fantastic blogs they’ve written and continue to write even during this difficult time. As a group, we are committed to communicating the findings of the latest reliable research that’s relevant to frontline UK mental health practice. Drop us a line if you want to join the elfin clan!
The Mental Elf Awards 2019 will also reward a small group of elite bloggers, and we want you to nominate your favourites!
