There are lots of people out there that struggle with mental health.\u00a0 And it is only getting worse.\u00a0 My friend (Marshall U Grad) and I, are working on a community where gamers who have issues with anxiety and their mental health can come together and support one another.\u00a0 Whether it may be through social media interactions or face to face interactions, our goal is to create a community where people can feel welcome and and find new friends and better their mental health through gaming.\u00a0 To get a better idea of how this works, it’s bouncing off a company that already exists called Extra Life.\u00a0 Extra Life is a community that is mostly built through gaming where people play video games to heal kids struggling with physical health issues.\u00a0 It is a very successful community where people are donating everyday to children’s hospitals around the country to help these kids fight through whatever pain they may be going through.\u00a0 So this is essentially the same thing but for people with anxiety and mental health issues.\u00a0 The name of this community: Team 8!\u00a0 There is a long explanation for the name but to sum it up the number 8 plays a significant role in our lives and it could too for those who are struggling mentally.<\/p>\n
