Creative writing App to support those suffering with poor mental health.

Integrity Media Ltd是一家成立于2021年的小众出版公司，旨在为心理健康状况不佳的个人提供一个途径和社区，让他们通过创意写作来理解、表达和成长，或者用我们的话来说，就是“重新发现、重建和重新启动”。在2021年的某个时候，英国将有1 / 4的人精神健康状况不佳（NHS），每10万人中就有11.6人会结束自己的生命。除了人力成本之外，心理健康状况不佳每年给英国造成450亿英镑的收入损失（德勤，2020年）。许多健康工具和心理健康服务已经发展到可以解决这个问题，但由于与需求相比，优质资源的可用性不足，它们难以缓解这种下降。创意写作作为一种支持心理健康状况不佳的人的手段已经被考虑了一段时间：写得好：健康和创造图像的力量——罗宾逊，医学人文，2000；表达性写作对情感和身体健康的好处。Baikie等人，《精神病学治疗进展》，2005；韵律与理性：创意写作与心理健康的关系——布莱尔，《英国职业治疗杂志》1997年版。我们的目标是通过一个综合的经验数据库和技能发展方案，促进对这种心理健康支助的理解和发挥作用。诚信传媒正在建立一个资源和服务基地，让个人能够独立地从不良心理健康中恢复过来。该平台的核心部分是基于iOS和android、手机和平板电脑的应用程序的版本1开发，具有三个核心元素。在这个项目下，第一版应用程序将使用Integrity Media当前的目录进行测试和发布。

Integrity Media Ltd is a niche publishing company that was launched in 2021 to provide a pathway and community for individuals suffering poor mental health to use creative writing as a means to understand, express and grow -- or as we put it 'rediscover, rebuild and relaunch'.1:4 people in the UK will suffer poor mental health at some point in 2021 (NHS) and 11.6 people per 100 thousand will take their own life. And beyond the human cost, poor mental health annually cost the UK c£45Bn in lost revenues (Deloitte, 2020). Many wellbeing tools and mental health services have evolved to combat the issue, but they struggle to abate the decline due to the insufficient availability of quality resources compared to the demand.Creative writing as a means to support those suffering poor mental health has been under consideration for a while: Writing well: health and the power to make images -- Robinson, Medical Humanities, 2000; Emotional and physical health benefits of expressive writing. Baikie et al, Advances in Psychiatric Treatment, 2005; Rhyme and reason: the relationship between creative writing and mental wellbeing -- Blair, British Journal of Occupational Therapy 1997\. We aim to advance the understanding and performance of such mental health support, through an integrated experiential database and skill development programme.Integrity Media is building a resource and service base to allow individuals to independently recover from poor mental health. A central part of this platform is the Version 1 development of an iOS and android, mobile and tablet based App with three core elements. Under this project the Version 1 App will be tested and launched using Integrity Media's current catalogue.
