Offer your communities extra digital support with free-to-download self-help apps
If you provide education, health or social care, you can now give people needing your help instant access to accredited health and wellbeing information.
In these challenging times when many organisations and communities are struggling because of the mental health crisis, long waiting lists for care and the pandemic, choose from a range of targeted apps to:
- provide useful health advice in one place - easily reassure, educate and empower people
- promote safe self-care - and reduce avoidable strain on services
- signpost services and information - make people feel cared for and supported
Not making quality information easily available risks complaints, missed diagnoses, mental breakdowns - and worse.
Why not use apps to help address national priorities, such as suicide prevention and better mental health support. Widen your digital offer, stand out as a caring provider, and help reduce the burden on your teams.
Simply choose an app solution that fits your needs
Use ready-made, easy-to-use apps to better support groups such as students, people who self-harm, or those with eating disorders. Apps are free to download and use. No sign-up or set-up.
Customise apps for your institution or area. Make local information more easily accessible, showcase available services, and raise your profile.
Or create new apps with us, using our white-label options. Make bespoke health content more widely available, increase your reach, and promote your services more effectively.
