The Yale Program for Recovery and Community Health is a partner in the University of Strathclyde-led initiative, The Citizenship, Recovery, and Inclusive Society Partnership (CRISP).
CRISP is funded by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE), which unites leaders from academia, policy, practice, business and community organizations from the European Union and United States.
Other CRISP partners are the Illinois Institute of Technology, the Mental Health Foundation, New York University, The Finnish Association for Mental Health, and Ulm University. The University of Strathclyde is located in the United Kingdom.
The main objectives of the CRISP network include sharing and disseminating learning in terms of ‘what works’ in different social contexts. Particular attention will be given to issues of intersectionality and how to promote social inclusion, citizenship, and human rights of people with lived experience of mental health problems.
The international network will build upon state of the art knowledge in four key areas of mental health: citizenship, recovery, stigma, and public policy. International collaboration in these areas enables new perspectives enhancing skills and career opportunities for researchers and practitioners alike. These new opportunities and perspectives allow for innovative initiatives "back home," contributing toward the sustained inclusion of people with experience of mental health problems.
