Gamer Therapy

Bringing mental health services into gaming while busting outdated stereotypes.

Playing video games with others has been a source of relief and a distraction from the state of the world. For World Mental Health Day, we launched Gamer Therapy:
A platform that pairs gamers with licensed therapists (who are also gamers) to host real therapy sessions while gaming.

People can visit the website to sign up for free in game therapy sessions or support the cause by donating to help make mental health care more accessible. Initial sessions will be held in matches of Rogue Company, a brand new free-to-play third-person shooter.
We brought the idea to life with Skillshot (a community e-sports company), RAD (a mental health non-profit)
and Hi-Rez Studios (publishers of Rogue Company).
