The School of Nursing, Dublin City University in collaboration with Amnesty Ireland are conducting a research project on Mental Health and Discrimination.

This project will investigate the experience of discrimination as reported by people with mental health difficulties in their daily lives. In particular it will examine overt and covert discrimination, self discrimination; and the impact of discrimination on participant's lives; identifying to what extent discrimination is related to their mental health difficulties. The project requires involvement of people who have or had mental health difficulties, as researchers and participants. This is in keeping with the research methodology Participatory Action Research.
