Depression and Self-Worth

---

Rise VR is a self-guided virtual reality program that supports youth experiencing low mood, self-doubt, or early signs of depression. Through immersive storytelling and guided reflection, the experience helps users build emotional strength, increase self-worth, and learn healthy ways to cope with sadness, hopelessness, and negative thinking. The program incorporates evidence-based practices from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and other resilience-focused approaches to promote emotional regulation, positive self-talk, and future-oriented thinking. Designed for use in schools, clinics, and youth-serving organizations, Rise VR requires no clinical facilitator and is ideal for universal or targeted mental health support.
