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, Caring for Teen Mental Health, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, gave teens the chance to build positive mental health practices and bring those to design and development of mental health-based VR experiences.

Get started learning about the project on the VRtality site - http://vrtality.org. On the site you have access to information on the initiative’s background, activity plans, and templates. The VRtality site includes interactive components to 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 Caring for Teen Mental Health participation.

Coming Soon: Videos and Q&A Zoom Session
The project team is getting ready to post on the VRtality website  a series of videos about all aspects of the initiative.  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 Caring for Teen Mental Health co-design activities and find out how to bring a similar initiative to your community.
