Contextual Mental Health Research Group

The Contextual Mental Health (CMH) research group is part of the School of Health in Social Science at the University of Edinburgh and we work in partnership with NHS Lothian. Our group is led by Matthias Schwannauer, Professor of Clinical Psychology.

The CMH research group brings together multi-disciplinary researchers and practitioners who are interested in exploring the factors that influence mental health and includes clinical studies and psychological intervention trials using digital mobile devices. We are focused on understanding how factors like our environment, background and development, social interactions, living conditions, and everyday stressors contribute to shaping our mental well-being in the digital age.
