My Project
GameOn is a dedicated mental health game room designed to promote emotional well-being, stress relief, and social connection among high school students. The space combines engaging, therapeutic games with a calming environment to support students’ mental health in a fun, interactive, and stigma-free way.
The game room will feature a curated selection of activities including board games, card games, mindfulness and relaxation games, and team-building challenges.
These games are chosen for their ability to encourage creativity, cooperation, and emotional expression. The room will also include cozy seating areas, ambient lighting, and calming décor to create a safe and welcoming atmosphere.
Whether it’s a puzzle, a new set of brain teasers, or a fun dartboard game, your contribution would go a long way in supporting our mission to provide a safe, stimulating space for our community of learners to gather and grow.
