Safe In Our World Launches #LevelUpMentalHealth Global Campaign
Videogames Mental Health Charity, Safe In Our World, today announced the #LevelUpMentalHealth global campaign with support from major game companies across the videogames industry, kicking off during Mental Health Awareness Week – the theme this year is “kindness.”
The campaign is the latest initiative as Safe In Our World continues to roll out dedicated efforts to rally the industry to support those affected by mental health ailments.
The #LevelUpMentalHealth campaign seeks to challenge the videogames industry to unite and commit to positive change, starting with workplaces, ensuring working environments are always safe and supportive of the mental health of its talent.

“Supporting mental health awareness is important for us. We are a growing group and with size comes responsibility. Our people are our greatest asset and by committing to Safe In Our World, it allows us to provide our subsidiaries and their employees with toolkits and information on how to engage with this issue. From us, it´s a commitment to raise awareness of mental health in our group, and this allows us to level up together,”
