We’re proud to announce our latest research, conducted in partnership with the Ruderman Family Foundation! The report explores the incredible potential of gaming to support youth mental health, and highlights the role of cross-sector partnerships in achieving this goal.
Our partnership with The Public Good Projects is bringing important research to adolescents across our nations, and we couldn’t be more excited to announce our findings. To combat the youth mental health crisis, we’ve teamed up to investigate the role that gaming plays in the mental health of youth and young adult gamers. This investigation identified the role that gaming companies, mental health professionals, researchers, trusted adults in young gamers' lives, and gamers themselves can play in making the gaming space a more supportive environment for youth and young adult gamers’ mental health.
