Building empathy and understanding of mental illness through the power of 360 video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With over 3,500 staff members and 800 patients, Western State Hospital (WSH) is one of the largest state-run mental health facilities in the country. Preparing new employees to work in a highly sensitive and sometimes dangerous environment can be quite a challenge. WSH turned to the power of 360 video to give new team members the opportunity to \u2018step inside\u2019 the life of a mental health patient. The final VR-powered training experience became the cornerstone of the hospital’s recently overhauled new employee training program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
