Consumer Focus

Consumers (people who have suffered from a mental health problem) are increasingly interested in participating in and managing their own health. Internet technology provides an ideal tool for facilitating such empowerment. e-hub is therefore underpinned by a strong consumer focus and is closely aligned with the Depression & Anxiety Consumer Research Unit (CRU) at the Centre for Mental Health Research. A number of ehub staff have experienced a depressive or anxiety illness and can therefore bring a consumer perspective to the work of the hub. In addition, e-hub has a strong program of work in the field of consumer informatics.
