Acknowledging that no one gets out of life unscathed, EmpressVR is founded on principles which focus on supporting all humans with what they need to go from surviving to thriving, resolving any difficult past experiences that hold us back before serving as a springboard for a compassionate career. We approach mentorship from a trauma informed management model, knowing that many of us came out of the pandemic exhausted and burned out, and that having the freedom to meet our human needs inside a work environment is the foundation for healing. Additionally, we explore topics in VR such as digital therapeutics, trauma healing education, and mental health storytelling to support our communities!
