We caught up with Job Stauffer, the co-founder and CCO of Orpheus Self-Care Entertainment. During the interview below, Stauffer talks about how most of the self-care tips people suffering from mental illnesses are given from professionals usually feels like a chore. Orpheus is setting out to change this through VR gaming.

He speaks passionately about how games can help people meditate and reach a feeling of zen when going through depression and anxiety. It's pretty inspiring to see this company pioneering for games to be used a way that could save lives.
