Largest, most comprehensive virtual reality resource for mental health to launch this Summer

ALEXANDRIA, VA (February 5, 2020) Coherent Digital, LLC, will launch Mindscape Commons, the world’s most comprehensive source of immersive and interactive content in mental health at the American Counseling Association Conference in San Diego, CA, April 2020. 

Developed in collaboration with over 100 individuals from more than 40 top academic organizations, Mindscape Commons allows faculty, librarians, students, and practitioners to collaborate, discover, upload, standardize, preserve, share, and use a wide range VR tools to deliver substantially better teaching, learning and treatment.

“VR increases empathy, engagement and motivation and it provides a safe and repeatable environment for training.  This combination of immersion and interactivity improves learning and client outcomes and is becoming increasingly important to our profession” says Allen E. Ivey, EdD, Professor Emeritus, University of Massachusetts Amherst.

 Mindscape Commons includes nearly 200 immersive projects in social work, counseling, and psychology from 118 colleges and 60 commercial organizations—and it will grow continually.  It lists open and for-fee resources, spanning from Stanford University’s “Becoming Homeless” VR experience to Interactive Home Assessments for social workers.   Also included are relevant PowerPoint presentations from faculty, as well as links to open access journal and magazine articles. 

 Additional exclusive VR experiences designed specifically for education and training are available to paying subscribers, together with tools to track and measure their effectiveness.

“We encourage faculty, students, librarians, and clinicians to sign up with us” said Elizabeth Robey, Publisher at Coherent Digital.  “Mindscape Commons provides a space for them to access content, and collaborate quickly and easily, so that we can accelerate the development of this increasingly important field”.
