Very Real Help built a clinical research platform called Help Club to aid people with depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions in the metaverse. The mental health-focused virtual app can be found on Quest, PC, Mac and iOS, and within a virtual setting, people can join as an avatar and begin tending to their mental health with the expert help of trained coaches.
The safe community is likened to a virtual support group and its coaches leverage the scientifically validated tools of an approach called Cognitive Behavioral Immersion. On the virtual mental health platform, 53% of your users have self-reported levels of clinical depression and 45% have clinical levels of anxiety, and since spending time in the virtual space, members have reported reduced symptoms.
