The mission

Safe In Our World’s mission is to safeguard the mental health of those who play games and those who make them

Safe In Our World’s mission is to create and foster worldwide mental health awareness within the video game industry; to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and make it a natural topic of discussion.

We believe that it’s through sharing stories, building empathy, and promoting dialogue around mental health that we break down stigma and encourage people to seek help should they need it.

Since its establishment in 2019, Safe In Our World has been building mental health awareness across the video game industry. We remove barriers to the tools, training, and resources that help us look out for each other and check in on our own mental health.

We’ve built a hub of information, news, stories, and support for gamers and games industry professionals. Anyone can search our global directory of mental health support to find help in their area. Our Level Up partners can access monthly training opportunities for their teams and downloadable resources on mental health best practices.

Fuelled by the passion of the core team, the Trustees, our dedicated Ambassadors and Patrons, and our Clinical Advisory Board, Safe In Our World will continue to deliver vital mental health resources and support to those who play games and those who make them.

Join our mission. Help us safeguard mental health in games. Be Safe In Our World.

Funding Safe In Our World’s mission to improve mental health in games

As a charity, Safe In Our World relies on the goodwill of those we serve and those who believe in a better, safer video game industry.

We got started on the royalties from the video game Fractured Minds, a mental health-themed puzzle game, and plenty of support from our founding Trustees. That initial support helped us establish ourselves as a trusted organisation in the video game industry – and now that we’re here, we’re thankful for all the donors and fundraisers who help to keep our mission alive.

We welcome public donations, with every contribution fuelling our mental health initiatives and ongoing efforts to safeguard the wellbeing of gamers and games industry professionals.

Our mission continues. Can you help us maintain momentum and create positive change in mental health in games? Donate or fundraise for Safe In Our World!
