Good representation of mental health in video games can help raise awareness and reduce stigma. We believe in various methods to ensure this, including encouraging developers to safely draw from their own lives and speaking to others with lived experience. Additionally, we offer professional consultation on portraying mental health accurately and sensitively. Contact us for more information. Here are some examples of our work!
