4. Third Mission Activity

As part of Swansea University’s mission to encourage ‘spin out’ companies to make available intellectual property for the benefit of the local and national economy, Philip Corr has established Psychology For You Limited, which supplies high-quality psychology-related products, services and information to the general public and organisations to enable them to enhance their subjective wellbeing and objective performance. These products include, among many others, online software for the treatment of depression, anxiety, stress and insomnia that may be used in the privacy of the home, and free information on self-help organisations, as well as high-quality training DVDs for organisations (e.g., performance appraisal, dealing with stress, and disability issues in the workplace). Free –to-use psychological tests are also offered. The e-commerce arm of the company may be visited at here.
