Our Step<br />

Our Step is a service to support mental rehabilitation.<br />

It promotes the concept that a healthy body leads to a<br />

healthy mind and a reduced danger of relapse. Our Step<br />

promotes mental <strong>wellbeing</strong> with products that motivate<br />

people to stay active. The products are delivered in subdivided<br />

thematic kits over a period of time to support<br />

the rehabilitation process. The kits are chosen according<br />

to the person’s individual needs and progress in rehabilitation<br />

by psychiatrists and physical therapists – and,<br />

when relevant, even together with previous patients<br />

who have experienced similar conditions. Examples<br />

of kits include a kit<br />

<strong>for</strong> mapping pleasurable<br />

places of interest,<br />

a step counter<br />

to give encouraging<br />

feedback on physical<br />

activity, and a camera<br />

with colour filters <strong>for</strong><br />

documenting moods<br />

and sceneries.<br />
