Talking about mental health and psychological disorders at work often feels like walking through a minefield. Between the fear of stigma and the risk of accusation, the subject remains a major taboo. Yet psychological distress at work is a reality that calls for active prevention.
“Follow the Brain 2: Troubled Minds” short-circuits those barriers. Through an immersive investigation inspired by the world of TV series, your employees explore how mental health works, with no friction.
Tackling depression, anxiety or behavioural disorders through a conference rarely works. To shift mindsets, you need to engage the limbic brain and step away from a purely clinical approach.
Playing investigators, participants analyse fictional conditions. That distance makes it possible to raise serious topics such as burnout or addiction without pointing fingers.
By observing the people involved in the case, participants build a bridge with their own experience. That step back is what triggers the realisation about physical and mental health.
The game shows that behind the words (psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders) lie human realities that a company can support with care.
Your team is called in on a sensitive case. Jean Becker stands accused of harassment. But could his psychological distress hide another truth? Alongside Alix Becker, an ethologist specialising in cognitive function, you’ll dive into the mechanics of the brain:
Spotting the warning signs: How do you recognise a mood disorder, post-traumatic stress or social isolation before they turn into severe conditions?
Understanding bias: Alix Becker helps players see how our biases shape the way we judge employees’ health.
A culture of support: Learning to signpost people to mental health professionals, without playing psychologist or psychiatrist.
