Poor links in App
There are links for creative therapy resources. I think they may have been corrupted as they link to websites that have nothing to do with creative therapy, so are of no use.
Description
Concerned about self-harm? Feeling suicidal? Not sure what to do next? Then this app is for you.
The distrACT app provides easy, quick and discreet access to general health information, self-help tips and links to support and trusted resources for those who self-harm or feel suicidal - and those supporting them.
Open the app and find the following sections with reliable answers to your questions in plain language – anywhere, anytime, and in private:
► ABOUT SELF-HARM: Check out what self-harm is, why people self-harm, and how to spot the warning signs
► SELF-HELP: Learn how to identify your needs, manage the urge to self-harm and use safer alternatives
► SUPPORT: Find out about how to get support, where to go for further help, and what to say when talking with others about self-harm

► EMERGENCY: Know what to do in an emergency, how to access help and how best to work together with health professionals
The distrACT app was co-created by practising UK health professionals together with people with lived experiences of self-harm and experts in self-harm and suicide prevention.
Development partners include Bristol Health Partners, Self-Injury Support, Self-Injury Self Help, the University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Bristol, with additional input from other local and national organisations.

Not Very Useful
Good intentions. But the app is very limited. It only has details of local real world help for Bristol. Not much use to the world outside Bristol. The layout is orientated for portrait and does not adjust to landscape. Fixed to iPhone proportions it looks adrift in the middle of my iPad screen. The top of the app is a flashing animation that cycles rapidly and makes my anxiety skyrocket. If you must have cheap animations, at least show some courtesy to users and include a stop/pause/disable button. I found myself clicking on any link just to avoid the homepage. Content might help those who have no prior experience/knowledge of selfharm/suicidal ideation but not much use for people with personal history or professional background. Found this app via link on NHS website. I think of this app as a third rate way to try to whitewash the disgraceful failure to provide adequate mental health care for British people. Its better than nothing. But like an asprin for ebola sufferers it is not a real solution.
Will definitely recommend to my friend
Beautiful app with extremely useful information!
Great info and advice for young people who self harm
Love the chill zone section and well laid out ☺️
A must get App
This app is professional, well-thought out and structured and is a must if you are concerned about self-harm or feeling suicidal and don't know what to do next. I highly recommend it.
