ProReal has developed an avatar-based, virtual-world software platform, which early evidence suggests can deliver effective mental health interventions for people with mood disorders such as anxiety, depression and trauma. As an online representation of the user’s world, the technology supports self-expression, affect labelling and regulation, thereby reducing levels of psychological distress and providing a more accessible pathway to treatment for young people in particular.
