Our Mission
The UK Stress and Resilience Network aims to bring together researchers, clinicians and practitioners with an interest in understanding stress, resilience and vulnerability to stress-related disorders. By fostering collaboration across disciplines, institutions and career stages, the network provides a platform for sharing knowledge, exchanging ideas, showcasing research and developing new collaborative opportunities. We aim to strengthen connections between basic, translational and clinical research, advancing our understanding of the mechanisms underlying stress and resilience and supporting the translation of scientific discoveries into meaningful improvements in mental health.
The network also serves as a bridge between the UK research community and the Global Stress and Resilience Network (GSRNet), connecting UK-based researchers with the wider international community to facilitate global collaboration, encourage scientific exchange and promote a coordinated approach to advancing stress and resilience research worldwide.
