LOS ANGELES: Gaming veterans and mental health professionals have teamed up to launch the publishing arm and “e-health” organisation WellBeings.

Mental health coach and mentor Craig Fearn is working alongside game industry professionals Mark Ripley and Matt Spall to launch the game publisher, which will focus on mobile games that address important health issues like anxiety, chronic pain, and panic disorders. The aim is to position WellBeings as a “one-stop-shop” for wellbeing research, consultation, and applications.
