What is Inside Mental Health?

Guided by an Advisory Panel of experts, and in partnership with the NHS and the University of the West of England, Anagram has developed Inside Mental Health to enable better training for a series of mental health issues.

Inside Mental Health combines Anagram’s award-winning, Emmy-nominated, Playing With Reality XR series with facilitated learning sessions designed and led by healthcare professionals. This has created a unique experience that enables participants the time and space to explore their understanding of patients with mental health issues.

With a unique focus on empathetic immersion, Inside Mental Health supports better patient outcomes by giving those working in health, social care and related fields, improved tools for understanding their patients, themselves and their colleagues. In doing so this also supports resilience for students, trainees and staff at all levels.
