Research

We take a collaborative approach to research at Lives Lived Well.

Lives Lived Well’s Dr Nick Kerswell accepts an award for Excellence in Research and Evaluation at the 2025 AOD Awards

That might look like working with other institutions and organisations, encouraging our people to participate in research, or leading our own projects.

Ensuring that our programs and services are backed by quality, evidence-based practice is a priority for us.

To ensure our clients are receiving care that’s grounded in research, we participate in various research projects in the alcohol and other drug, gambling, veterans, and mental health space.

The Lives Lived Well Research Working Group is responsible for planning, assessing, and managing projects, plus sharing findings across the wider organisation.
