How can I play the VR game?
Our first game about a day-in-the-life of a behavioral health social worker is compatible with most virtual reality headsets. Contact us to find out how to obtain a licensed copy of the game.
Is there an alternative to the VR game?
We want everyone to experience the game regardless of different accessibility needs. We have an alternative activity which uses gamification to introduce users to the day-in-the-life of a behavioral health social worker, but without the emotional triggers in the storyline, and without requiring a virtual reality headset. This alternative is accessible for users with hearing or visual assistance needs. This e-Learning game can be played on any computer or mobile device.
Who is the game for?
The target audience is middle and high school students as well as undergraduate college students. It is for anyone who wants to learn about behavioral health career pathways.
Why a game?
A game will make this career pipeline exciting and accessible to a younger, more general audience.
