London schools trialling VR to relieve pupils' stress
"Pupils access the seven-minute-long Phase Space VR programme either in a prearranged slot or when they need to leave a lesson because they have become beset by anxiety."
"Students are a lot calmer. We're seeing a reduction in things like relocations from lessons where students are being asked to leave because they're deregulated."
"Nine out of 10 pupils who used the headsets in the first 10 schools saw an immediate improvement in their ability to manage stress."
Secondary schools in Sutton, London, are implementing virtual reality (VR) headsets to assist students dealing with stress from exams, ADHD, and challenging home environments. The seven-minute Phase Space VR program allows students to calm down and regain confidence during overwhelming moments. Schools report a significant reduction in behavioral issues and an increase in students proactively seeking help through VR. The program is particularly beneficial for those with social, emotional, or mental health challenges, helping them ground themselves before returning to class.
