Our Story
I still remember like it was yesterday.
On December 27th 2001, around 7:00 PM, I was upstairs playing video games while the rest of my family were spending time together downstairs. My parents, sister, aunt, and cousins were laughing and talking until suddenly I heard my aunt scream. She had just gotten a call that a first cousin of mine had died by suicide after struggling with depression. He was battling all alone and nobody knew. He was kind, caring and compassionate. He was only 19. He introduced me to video games a few years earlier and made me fall in love with them. - Maan
Our mental health is in crisis …
~80% of youth do NOT get the mental health help they actually need
Current solutions are limited…
That is why we started our company: Mereminds Technologies.
We are dedicated to raising awareness and teaching mental health coping skills by making fun & engaging video games.
Current mental health systems are failing to capture a large proportion of youth and young adults suffering from a mental health condition.
Video games are:
Accessible & Affordable
Fun & Engaging
Personal - No stigma, No wait-lists
Data from 98 independent studies with 36,965 participants revealed that prosocial video games decrease aggression and aggression-related variables and increase prosocial outcomes.
By using evidence-based mental health strategies incorporated in a creative video game, we can break down barriers of stigma, raise awareness and teach coping skills in an enjoyable & engaging way.
