Lab Highlights

In February 2023, we were funded to partner with the national organization Bring Change to Mind and internationally recognized stigma researchers at Indiana University to conduct formative work, using our PlaySmart game, with adolescents examining the critical issue of stigma around mental health.

In 2022, we were honored to have our games included as important resources for mental health for youth by the Office of the US Surgeon General.
