Frontlines of Empathy: Supporting Veteran Mental Health
As we celebrate and honor our veterans, it is important to recognize that many of them face serious mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal thoughts. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 20 veterans die by suicide every day in the United States. This is a crisis that demands action and solutions.
One innovative approach to addressing this problem is the upcoming video game, "With Them: Frontlines". Developed by ORE System in Austin, Texas, this game aims to raise awareness about veteran mental health and reduce the high suicide rate among veterans of the video game generation. Let’s take a closer look at how this game works and how you can get involved.
With Them: Frontlines – A Game to Support Veteran Mental Health
"With Them: Frontlines" is a first-person shooter game that features real military veterans as playable characters. The game is based on their real experiences and stories, which are integrated into the gameplay and the storyline. This approach is designed to remove the stigma of a veteran sharing their experience and story through gameplay, while also educating players about the challenges faced by our veterans.
The game also features a single-player campaign that provides a first-person experience of what a real military veteran experienced in their own words. Through storytelling and first-hand accounts by real military veterans, a fully immersive game environment, and storyline is created. This integrates audio, video, and represented gameplay to recreate the event for the player. Additionally, the game can sync with an application that collects data to share with healthcare providers to facilitate a more direct discussion between patient and provider.
