Imagine being able to access mental health support from the comfort of your own home, all while remaining anonymous and connected with others who are going through similar struggles. That's exactly what Noah Robinson has created with Innerworld - a revolutionary VR app that allows users to attend unlimited, free group-based sessions and learn coping strategies to deal with anxiety, depression, or whatever else life may throw their way. On this episode of Who The Health Started That?, we'll hear from Noah Robinson himself about his journey in creating Innerworld. From the initial idea that sparked his passion for mental health support, to the challenges he faced in building a cutting-edge VR platform that could deliver effective peer-led support in a virtual space. We'll learn how he assembled a team of experts in mental health, technology, and design to create the Innerworld experience, and how he navigated the complex legal and ethical considerations of offering mental health support in a virtual setting. We'll also explore the incredible impact that Innerworld is having on people's lives, and how it's changing the way we think about mental health support in the 21st century.
