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 />
