A digital Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing campaign has been launched offering self-help resources and tools for those seeking support.
The campaign, supported by the Department of Health in collaboration with Digital Health & Care NI, includes a selection of
carefully curated mental health and wellbeing apps on the HSC Apps Library offering valuable self-help information and advice for those seeking mental health support.
These apps include information on topics such as anxiety, depression, stress, sleep and meditation.
The campaign was launched at the Northern Ireland Confederation for Health and Social Care (NICON) conference on Wednesday.
Health Minister Mike Nesbitt said: “This is an example of the use of digital innovation to provide timely and targeted mental health support.
“It recognises that digital technologies offer an alternative way of providing mental health support by offering increased choice, availability and access, alongside traditional mental health service delivery.
“Moving from an analogue to a digital health and social care system is one of the major shifts in healthcare delivery that will produce better outcomes for all.”
