The Seattle Public Library, the D.C. Public Library, and the Fayette Public Library Museum and Archives (in LaGrange, TX) invites you to learn about their innovative work to support teen mental health through
co-design and VR. The project, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, gives teens the chance to build positive mental health practices and bring those to the design and development of mental health-based VR experiences.
You can get started learning about the project on its website,
VRtality
- http://vrtality.org. The site gives you access to information on the initiative's background, program plans, and co-design session templates. The
VRtality site also includes interactive components so you can build and customize your own roadmap for a mental health co-design project. You can also download the VR experiences designed by teens as a part of their
VRtality participation.
Coming Soon: Videos and Q&A Zoom Session
The project team is getting ready to post a series of videos about all aspects of the initiative on the website. Posting of project videos will be followed by a live Zoom Q&A session on
August 18 at 2PM Eastern/1PM Central/Noon Mountain/11AM Pacific. During the Zoom you can ask questions of those who implemented
VRtality co-design activities and find out how to bring a similar initiative to your community.
