“Stand to Reason Membership Benefits”

We are pleased to announce the first of a series of benefits which it intends to offer to the members of Stand to Reason.

Together with Ultrasis a market leading provider of computer delivered, interactive healthcare products, we have arranged for the following self-help programmes to be available to members of Stand to Reason at discounted prices in order to help people cope with stress related conditions:

•Stress Relief
•Anxiety Relief
•Insomnia Relief
•Depression Relief

Please indicate if any of the above listed programmes are of interest to you when you complete your Stand to Reason application form and we will write to you with details of the discounts on offer. Given the current lack of access to psychological therapies we are currently exploring the possibility of providing computerised CBT or cognitive behaviour therapy (Beating the Blues® – a programme of CBT for depression and anxiety) to our members, so please check this website for further details.

Beating the Blues® has been heralded as one the most significant innovations in healthcare in the last ten years and is recommended by the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence ( NICE) as a cost-effective treatment for mild and moderate depression. Beating the Blues®is currently used in over 400 sites in the NHS across Britain. Broad provision of the programme across the NHS was further endorsed, in March 2007, by the then Secretary of State for Health, Patricia Hewitt.

Ultrasis UK Ltd supports the NHS, Wellbeing Providers, Charities, Corporate Organisations, and the SME sector with a highly effective series of programmes enabling the end-user to resolve their burdens of Insomnia through to Depression. The full spectrum of products has taken over 10 years to develop. The Relief Series of internet based programmes was specifically developed for the corporate world and has been written in such a way that a high level manager through to an individual on incapacity benefit can follow and understand.
