The goal of the Ensuring Quality in Psychological Support and Mental Health Helping Skills–Service User version (EQUIP-SU) project is to develop a quality assessment tool that can be completed by people with lived experience of mental health conditions to rate the services they receive.

Using a co-creation approach, the quality assessment tool will be developed with people with lived experience (the demand side of mental health services) and health system managers and policy makers (the supply side of mental health services). 

Successful development of a quality assessment tool will enable people using mental health services to provide feedback to managers and policy makers to improve decision making for strengthening mental health services.
