What is EmbodyXR?
EmbodyXR® is a mobile and VR experience that aims to transform anxiety support into something young people can actually feel, not just think about.
Through interactive, choreographed challenges, immersive soundscapes, and evidence-based techniques including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), positive psychology and high-performance management, EmbodyXR helps players understand and better navigate the Fight/Flight/Freeze response.
We’re working with the University of the Creative Arts researchers, Wellbeing Professionals and students, transforming our arts awareness experience into a serious game for mental health
