"Mental Health Research Network" - has anyone heard of this?

Hi all,

 

Some of you may remember that I worked on creating a couple of resources for hospital inpatients, around how to navigate life in the MHU (like, there's a laundry and the coffee has no caffeine in it etc, etc...) and a 'spotter's guide to the professionals you may meet in the MHU and what their jobs actually are'. 

 

The peer worker who encouraged me to write this and who is working on getting it into my local MHU has, with my permission, shared it far and wide through her networks, in the hope that they can adapt it to suit their local environments and that it will help even more inpatients.  One of her contacts is a Doctor of  from an Australian "Mental Health Research Network" - has anyone heard of this?  I can see from Google that there seems to be a UK-based "Mental Health Research Network" - but surely there'd be a different organisation for Australia??? 

 

If you've heard of the Mental Health Research Network in Australia, what do they do?
