Time4Recovery – Comms suite raises awareness of mental health

Overview of the project

Time4Recovery was established following new Government mental health guidelines, aiming to improve outcomes for people with psychosis. The guidelines require that over 50% of people who visit a GP with a first episode of psychosis see a mental health professional within 14 days. Time4Recovery is a collaboration involving people who access services, carers, clinicians, researchers, managers and commissioners in the South East. The group joined forces to ensure they meet the criteria and improve outcomes for people with first episode psychosis.

Through client recommendation, we were briefed to create communication tools for the Early Intervention in Psychosis Programme. We created a bright, cheerful and multicolour identity to signify parts of the brain in an abstract way. Partnering with a web app developer, we created an online assessment tool to enable diagnosis. Implementation also included a simple animation, postcards, a brochure and a Government report.
