Help people improve their health and wellbeing
As an education, health or care provider, you can now effortlessly offer your communities much-needed extra support through targeted mobile health information apps.
Faced with the mental health crisis, long waiting lists for care and gaps in service provision, you will want to do your best to empower underserved and marginalised people to better manage their health - and help them find the right support when needed.
To better safeguard high-priority groups such as students, people who self-harm, young carers, or those with eating disorders, choose from a range of ready-made apps to make reliable, evidence-informed health information more easily accessible - in one single place, even when offline:
- Educate people about health and wellbeing - and explain what to do next when concerned or in crisis
- Promote safe self-care - to help people prevent, address and solve health problems
- Signpost services and other support - to make people aware of useful resources and how to get help
The stakes of not offering easy access to crucial information are high - from poor health outcomes, missed diagnoses and overwhelmed services to mental breakdowns and suicides.
Why not use accredited apps to help you create healthier and happier communities, stand out as a caring provider, and reduce avoidable pressure on services.
