Coherent Digital Launches Major New Video and VR Resource for Counseling, Social Work, and Related Fields

Coherent Digital today released Mental Health in VR and Video, an upgraded and expanded version of the award-winning Mindscape Commons. The collection delivers more than 250 short-form videos and VR experiences designed to enhance teaching and training in counseling, psychology, social work, nursing, and related disciplines.

“Students learn best when they can safely practice skills and reflect on realistic scenarios,” said Elizabeth Robey, Editor at Coherent Digital. “Mental Health in VR and Video presents concise, high-quality demonstrations to help learners build confidence and competence before entering the field.”

Key features:

Effective teaching tools: Hundreds of realistic, skills-based scenarios across CBT, multicultural counseling, family systems therapy, experiential therapy, caregiver support, and other approaches

Exclusive contributions from leading scholars and publishers such as Dr. Tyler Wilkinson, Dr. Carlos Zalaquett, Dr. Tori Olds, Dr. Judith Johnson, Cognella, and Wiley

Current and diverse: More than 60 percent of the collection is exclusive, with the majority produced in the last five years—including twenty-five brand-new 2025 titles

Enhanced user experience: A new, faster VR player that’s fully compatible with Apple Vision and other leading headsets—with VR experiences also viewable as standard videos (no headset required)

Broad coverage: Expands into pressing mental health themes such as addiction, grief, homelessness, immigration, trauma, depression, and racism

Instructor support: Includes interactive quizzes, transcripts, and guides with built-in assessments and discussion prompts

The new platform is already used by more than 1,500 sites around the world. It includes a full suite of library tools such as COUNTER usage statistics, discovery service integration, WCAG-aligned accessibility, content alerts, in-depth Boolean search, playlist creation, and other enhancements. Mental Health in VR and Video is cross-searchable with Applied Psychology, a new resource that captures, indexes and preserves real-world documents, videos, podcasts, and other fugitive literature in psychology. Current Mindscape Commons customers will receive software upgrades at no extra charge and may subscribe to or purchase the new content at discounted rates. Tiered pricing makes content affordable for even the smallest colleges.
