Listen to our panel at EGX 2019 about mental health advocacy in video games. There's lots of interesting talk about how games can portray mental health well, the importance of games in raising mental health awareness, and also a whole lot about how the industry can improve and do more to take care of the people who create these games and put their own experiences into them.
We were joined by:
Vic Hood (games writer at TechRadar, runs the ReCharge group)
Marina Díez (game designer & developer of PTSD and Consent)
Rachel Clancy (developer of The Hero's Guide To Gardening; Sky Women in Tech Scholar)
Laura Kate Dale (author of Uncomfortable Labels; games writer at LauraKBuzz.com)
