We have a special treat just for our awesome Military with PTSD family members for free until December 31st.
Now we've seen many apps for veterans and service members. But interactive gaming technology with virtual humans? I wasn't sure what to expect when we went to try it out.
But I have to say, this is unique— I am impressed. It's actually really cool, not like cheesy or generic. It's interactive so you get engaged with what is going on and It helps you learn what to say and do when one of our brothers or sisters are struggling.
