A web based emotional health environment that combines a unique assessment & data rich personal report with proven coaching/therapy techniques to improve emotional/mental health
About
11 million adults in the UK feel overwhelmed and stressed but are not currently accessing help of any kind. In the corporate world 12.5 million working days lost to work related stress, anxiety and depression 2016/2017 24 days is the average amount of time lost from the workplace per case of stress £34.9 Bn the cost of mental ill health to the UK Economy or £1300 for every employee. My Internal World (MIW) is unique in that it combines a groundbreaking emotional health assessment detailed reporting and tailored development pathways. No other application does this. NHS Mental Health Services are overwhelmed because they are not set up to deal with the large numbers of low level of issues that are being presented. MIW targets these issues. Mental health as an issue has a high and consistently rising profile due to initiatives patronised by members of the royal family as well as celebrities, thus increasing the pressure on these essential services. MIW World assesses, reports on and delivers solutions for those issues that are not specific diagnosable conditions such as stress and self esteem and outlook but which, if not dealt with, can feed into and become part of a diagnosable condition. Our aim is to exploit a large gap (11 million adults in the UK feel overwhelmed and stressed but are not currently accessing help of any kind) in a growing and immature market that has little structure. A market that is defined either by solutions that claim to be useful for many emotional issues (meditation) or apps that are aimed at single/ dual issue emotional challenges (anxiety/depression). Currently, any consumer looking for help has to either already know what their issues are or use trial and error to work out what is suitable. MIW provides a detailed assessment and provides solutions that are appropriate to each area of your emotional health. MIW is a subscription app/web based emotional health environment that provides unique, groundbreaking assessment, rich personal data and education with a supporting environment to build awareness, take action and ultimately support strong emotional health. Log on, take your personal assessment, learn about yourself while reading your report and then use any of the pathways that are relevant to your personal situation to build and maintain your emotional health. Do this all in the privacy and safety of your own online environment. The combinations of personalised feedback, exercises, individual profile, progress checks and daily check-ins will make this app an immediate must have for the target market. Through the video workshops, the specially written books and the further carefully selected book recommendations this will not only be an app for emotional health but will become the go to source of reading and education in all matters emotional and developmental. As the community grows it will demand further services such as providing a specially selected network of facilitators, counsellors and therapists to meet the more personal and individual needs of the user.
