Project: Development of Wellbeing Identification and Support Platform – WISP, creating immersive, digital tools to help people dealing with impacts of trauma
Background: Inspire Workplaces are part of the Inspire Group, one of the longest established and largest charitable organisations in Ireland with a vision of “wellbeing for all“, supporting over 800,000 lives, with a client base including the Northern Ireland Civil Service and Health & Social Care Trusts, Bombardier, and Stena-Line
The original objective of our KTP with Ulster University was the development of a new technology platform (Wellbeing Identification and Support Platform – WISP) to offer access to mental health screening and support to employees of companies at risk of secondary traumatic stress as their job involves curating disturbing digital media.
The solution: Development of a web-based platform (WISP) – the Inspire Support Hub – to provide support for a specific cohort (as above). However the scope of the KTP broadened, making the new WISP available to all employees seeking mental health support.
