REP Group Limited is a specialist company supporting people to manage their mental health creatively through the written word. Through our Re-Engage programme we teach people how the structure of creative writing can enable them to better cope with their challenges and find a means to move forward with improved wellbeing – ‘self-care’. The natural flow of story to establish the situation, explain how the situation has escalated to the create conflict, then most importantly, consider and how the difficulty may be overcome. And for those that don’t feel quite ready to take that step, to consider reading as a pathway for establishing a stronger foundation from which to build – ‘bibliotherapy’. Through the reading of other people’s life stories and how they approached their own adversity, they can find inspiration to tackle their own worries.
Re-Engage and Perspectives is designed to support, guide and direct those struggling with their personal wellbeing, to use literature as the key to unlock a pathway to a better tomorrow. Re-Engage provides our proprietary creative writing workshops, along with literature and links to find the knowledge and support you need. Perspectives is our marketplace that offers real-world autobiographical stories of those who had their won challenges, as well as other fictional works.
Re-Engage provides access to our workshop programme which will explain to the user how creative writing can be used to improve our mental health. It is not designed or intended to teach the user to become a bestseller, but simply provide a framework that allows them to build a short-story which helps focus and structure their thoughts.
Perspectives provides a portal to read other people’s stories. Through increasing the knowledge of real-world mental health issues, as a community we can feel less alone and better educate society.
