Youth are taught emotion recognition and regulation skills using evidence-based psychoeducational programming. This includes techniques such as identifying and labeling emotions, understanding the causes and effects of emotions, and learning effective responses. These skills are also highly relevant to youth with autism and ADHD.

Impact VR uses interactive scenarios where they practice identifying emotions, understanding social cues, and responding appropriately. By navigating these dynamic social environments, youth enhance their ability to recognize emotional expressions, develop empathy, and build prosocial behaviors.

Impact VR motivates youth through fun games that reinforce emotion regulation and recognition skills. Building on prior modules, this section uses challenges and rewards to help youth practice identifying, labeling, and understanding emotions in dynamic scenarios.
