Profile

Angie Hart is the Academic Director of the award winning Community University Partnership Programme at the University of Brighton. As part of that role, she was the Brighton lead for the HEFCE-funded South East Coastal Communities Programme (www.cupp.org.uk). She is also Professor of Child, Family and Community Health in the School of Nursing and Midwifery in the Faculty of Health and Social Science. She teaches on professional courses for health and social care practitioners and undertakes participatory research into inequalities in health and social care in relation to children and families. She currently has a number of resilience-focused research projects under way, many of which are funded under the AHRC/ESRC's Connected Communities Programme. For further details of current projects see the school's health and social inequalities current projects page, and for completed projects the health and social inequalities completed projects page.

Professor Hart is a child and family therapist, and until August 2008 she worked part-time as a research-practitioner in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), Sussex Partnership NHS Trust, Brighton. She worked both in a specialist team supporting fostered and adopted children, and in a generic CAMHS clinic located in a socially and economically deprived area of Brighton. As the adoptive parent of three children from the care system, she has much experience herself as a service user of health and social care services in both the voluntary and statutory sector.

Professor Hart has published widely on health and social care services to disadvantaged children, their families and their supporters, especially in relation to fostering and adoption to midwifery and health visiting and in relation to the concept of resilience. She has also published her work on the development of community university partnership programmes. Her current work includes developing a series of communities of practice in collaboration with a local charity. This project involves working with groups of parents and practitioners to implement and develop Resilient Therapy.

Professor Hart's degrees are in philosophy and social anthropology from the Universities of Sussex, Cambridge and Oxford, and she has a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Sussex.

Professor Hart has project-managed and worked as a research collaborator on many multi-disciplinary research projects. These include ones commissioned by major government agencies (e.g. the Department of Health and the Economic and Social Research Council).
