Bursting with energy, we rolled out, delighted at the connection we found with each other in critical <em>and<\/em> constructive thinking about mental health, mental wellness and the formative power of words. We formed ourselves as a &#8220;qualitative cartel,&#8221; and soon grew at the seams.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, we met to guide our students in qualitative research for their master&#8217;s theses. In Dutch curricula, qualitative research is rarely taught and nowhere accepted for graduation in clinical psychology, so we joined forces to <em>do<\/em> teach our students and together overcome the hurdle of exam boards.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, we told each other about our own studies, our routes in the methodological literature, obstacles and opportunities in interpreting, writing out and publishing qualitative research. We read together, we formed small teams for team-based coding, and regularly swirled out in our critical-philosophical reflections on practice. We also noted that as quantitatively trained scholars making the paradigm shift to the qualitative research paradigm, we all fell into the same traps. And we realized that our experience could be a stepping stone for other researchers looking for the stories in and about the mental health system.<\/p>\n<p>All this knowledge and expertise, learned, read and experienced, we have been carrying informally for years. Positive enthusiastic responses strengthened us to make our informal qualitative cartel a body that can help not only ourselves but also other researchers along the way. Thus was born the <em>&#8220;Qualitative Research Collective Mental Health Care<\/em>. By establishing KOG as an association, we can start to fan out, and really shape the movement toward a quality evidence-base together.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-r1y2-3a33fb6fe3f806be63a8085417f0b19a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-r1y2-3a33fb6fe3f806be63a8085417f0b19a{\nmargin-top:0px;\nheight:1px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-r1y2-3a33fb6fe3f806be63a8085417f0b19a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_heading '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4eene-b489ff54f89350b7cb91644c40d2b7ca\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-4eene-b489ff54f89350b7cb91644c40d2b7ca{\nmargin:10px 0 0 0;\npadding-bottom:0;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-4eene-b489ff54f89350b7cb91644c40d2b7ca .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-4eene-b489ff54f89350b7cb91644c40d2b7ca .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-4eene-b489ff54f89350b7cb91644c40d2b7ca av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Collective in action<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-3phqi-5ccdb0aad00e5c6a74cf6bdf032d59e6 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a member of the Qualitative Mental Health Research Collective, you connect with rich thinking, a rich tradition, and an enriching future for the mental health field.
