REACT Study

React is a self-help package (toolkit) for relatives and friends of people in the first stages of mental health problems associated with psychosis. The toolkit contains a variety of useful information mixed with short tasks and real life experiences to help the study group use the information in their own life.

Working closely with the Spectrum Centre at Lancaster University and with contributions from psychologists, nurses and relatives of people with psychosis we have designed and produced the folder and 13 booklets that make up the REACT Toolkit.

Based on the early discussion with the REACT team we produced a screen printed folder which contained the 13 loop stitched A5 booklets, printed on a recycled offset stock. The booklets can easily be removed from the larger pack to be read as a single booklet.

To avoid a medical feel to the study, we opted for a bright colour scheme and friendly illustrative style in a simple single column layout.

The booklets were also recreated as an extensive cms driven website, which also utilised the same colour scheme and illustrations.
