Mindlight
an immersive game world through which children learn to manage and overcome anxiety symptoms
MindLight incorporates several evidence-based strategies including relaxation and mindfulness techniques, attention bias modification methods, and neurofeedback mechanics that together produce an immersive game world through which children learn to manage and overcome anxiety symptoms. But this is not a “serious game” — it’s designed to be intensely fun, to harness children’s intrinsic curiosity and wonder and to bridge fantasy and reality such that children become empowered across all contexts in their lives.
