Healthy Gamer Teams Up with Warrior GMR Foundation to Support Veterans' Mental Health

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with the Warrior GMR Foundation to enhance mental health support for veterans! This partnership underscores our shared commitment to harnessing the benefits of gaming to foster well-being and resilience among those who have served our country.

Our collaboration will focus on integrating our specialized mental health resources with the Warrior GMR Foundation's innovative programs, leveraging the resources and capabilities of Healthy Gamer, the Healthy Gamer Foundation, and the HG Institute.

We aim to create a supportive and empowering environment for veterans to connect, share experiences, and get the support they deserve.

The partnership will include collaboration around the following key areas:

  1. Discord Resources
    • We will develop and provide dedicated mental health resources on Warrior GMR Foundation's Discord server, opening opportunities for community workshops and events, and all the while ensuring veterans have access to the help they need in an environment they trust.
  2. Up-skilling
    • The Healthy Gamer Institute will offer development programs for the Warrior GMR Foundation's staff, to equip them with the skills and knowledge to effectively support veterans' mental health needs, enhancing their ability to provide compassionate and informed care.
  3. Social Campaign for Mental Health Awareness Livestream
    • Together, we will launch a social media campaign featuring posts and livestream events focused on promoting understanding of veteran mental health. These activities are designed to raise awareness and provide valuable information to our communities.
  4. Grantsmanship
    • Our organizations will collaborate on securing grant funding to further advocacy and research for the gaming and veteran communities.

We are excited about the potential of this partnership to make a meaningful impact on the mental health of veterans, and are confident that our combined efforts will greatly benefit the veteran community and set a new standard for mental health support through gaming.
