ABSTRACT
This article offers a reflection on how we might co-design with and for care amid the era of digital economy through a critique of current approaches to supporting mental well-being outside of therapy. Lenses of care theory and posttraumatic growth guide this critique, examining six themes of creative approaches that have been identified through a thematic review of 83 existing interventions: online communities, digitisation and re-design of psychology intervention, biometrics and data-driven, creative sharing of stories, symbolic engagements, and creative offerings of comfort and encouragements of self-care. In particular, approaches that lie within the sharing economy are scrutinised, presenting neoliberal drives that oppose its values of fairness and equity. Involvement of trusted others in the co-design of care entanglements is proposed, suggesting that these involvements would allow for reciprocal care encounters to be personalised towards those who have experienced trauma and their trusted others.
