Published on: 2026-01-21
In an article and news report by CRV News, Dr. Manuela Ferrari presents ‘The Road Ahead’ project. It is an interactive video game designed by and for young people to provide them with coping mechanisms and validated clinical tools.
Unlike certain artificial intelligence tools that may risk validating harmful thoughts, this game offers a safe, evidence-based environment designed to break the stigma surrounding mental health.
« There is a scene in the game where a person goes for a walk and sits down and starts to do some breathing exercises. »
