Description

The seattle public library will integrate CO-design and the immersive technology of virtual reality (VR) to improve access to mental health resources for vulnerable youth. CO-design will empower library staff and teens to envision how VR experiences can help support long-term spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Teens and young adults will receive technology to develop content. To mitigate sanitation challenges presented by covid-19, teens and young adults will receive technology to keep and hardware will not be shared among participants or library staff. Three library systems-pacific northwest urban seattle public library, urban east coast DC public library, and rural south central fayette public library museum and archive-will gather information about the variety of teen mental health needs in its communities and build a framework and set of resources that will succeed across different regions of the united states.
