How does Ken Walker's VR project in Horizon Worlds address mental health challenges?

Hi, I’m Ken Walker from Instagram. Love that you asked about this.

In Horizon Worlds, I’m building a space where we can come together and talk about different topics with a core focus on mental health. The goal is to create an outlet that feels safer than face‑to‑face for people who find that really intimidating. VR lets you show up as you are (or as an avatar), open up, listen, and not feel so alone.

At the heart of it, I’m aiming for inner peace, self love, and growth by combining conversation, community, and a more comfortable way to seek support.

What kind of mental health space would feel most supportive to you in VR?
