Discussion Groups.

Uses
While SIGs offer outcome-based, structured connection between SMaRteN network members, Discussion Groups are for informal, ad hoc discussion. Perhaps you would like to keep up to date with people you met at an event, or intermittently share new work. Discussion Groups do not call for a specific outcome or set of rules, and so are perfect for informal chat within the remit of student mental health.

SMaRteN Discussion Groups will operate through Basecamp, a project management platform. While Discussion Groups are based on informal chat, Basecamp also offers file sharing and task assignment features.

Proposing a Discussion Group
If you would like to propose a Discussion Group, please email laura.beswick@kcl.ac.uk with a brief outline, detailing the topic of discussion you hope to have and how it would be of interest to others. This will allow SMaRteN to publicise the proposed Discussion Group to the network and gauge the level of interest. See below for an example.
I am Joe Bloggs, an early career researcher in the Psychology Department at King's College London. I have published and am currently conducting research into post-graduate mental health, specifically stress and anxiety amongst PhD students. I would like to get in touch with other researchers within this area, as I am aware it is a growing field of interest with new research emerging all the time. If we could all be in contact, it could be beneficial to us all in facilitating discussion, sharing research and possibly enabling future collaboration.
Please contact laura.beswick@kcl.ac.uk or smarten@kcl.ac.uk for further information or inquiries. 

Welcome to the SMaRteN Network! We hope to hear from you soon.

Keep us up to date with your research! We love to showcase members' work and initiatives in student mental health research.
