APPROACHES
1. Empowerment through Technology:
By leveraging VR and AR technology, we empower individuals to actively engage in their mental health care journey. Through immersive and interactive experiences, participants gain valuable self-awareness, develop coping skills, and regulate their emotions. This sense of agency and control over their mental health outcomes leads to increased empowerment and autonomy.
3. Stigma Reduction and Social Inclusion:
We work to reduce stigma and promote social inclusion by raising awareness about mental health issues and challenging stereotypes and misconceptions. Through immersive storytelling, education, and advocacy, we foster a culture of acceptance and support for individuals facing mental health challenges. By fostering empathy and understanding within the community, we create an environment that encourages help-seeking behavior and reduces barriers to accessing mental health care.
2. Community Engagement and Capacity Building:
4. Research and Knowledge Generation:
Our project prioritizes community engagement and capacity building by involving local stakeholders, including mental health professionals, community leaders, and organizations. Through training programs, collaborative efforts, and knowledge-sharing initiatives, we equip local professionals with the expertise to deliver effective VR and AR therapy interventions and advocate for mental health awareness within their communities. This grassroots approach ensures sustainable change and resilience-building at the local level.
Our project contributes to systemic change through research and knowledge generation in the field of VR and AR therapy for mental health. Through rigorous evaluations and documentation of best practices, we advance the evidence base for innovative interventions in conflict-affected settings. By disseminating findings and facilitating knowledge exchange, we promote learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement in mental health care delivery.
