A story-based digital intervention to help high school students take action to improve their school environment.
EmpowerED instructs youth on how to take action to improve their school environment, to recognize themselves as agents of change, and improve their sense of well-being.
There is approximately 1 hour of unique gameplay for youth ages 14 to 18 years.
Given that youth often feel reluctant to take on a more active role in changing their school climate, the game’s focus on teaching them cognitive reappraisal skills in an educational context is relevant. By reflecting on school climate situations and generating healthy responses, students will become more equipped to advocate for themselves on and off school grounds.
