What's Inside
IncludeMe is an interactive training app that looks like a graphic novel!

- The game play exposes you to three workplace mental health scenarios where you get to problem solve in order to progress.
- IncludeMe gives you strategies when facing challenges and builds your confidence in addressing situations.
- After the missions, you earn the IncludeMe Badge and get access to practical resources for your organization.
- And there's science behind the app. It's based on Iris the Dragon’s narrative formula — a formula that has been empirically validated by the Mental Health Commission of Canada for its effectiveness in changing attitudes towards those with mental health issues.
- We encourage participants to opt into the Advance Survey being conducted by Queen's University.
