London Schools Use VR to Relieve Student Stress

Relaxing VR sessions help students cope with exam stress, ADHD, and anxiety caused by family problems.

The seven-minute VR tour begins with gradual immersion: the room empties, the lights fade, and the user finds themselves in darkness with soft light effects moving toward them. It helps students calm down and ground themselves.

Students can use VR either at scheduled times or whenever they feel overwhelmed.

In the first ten schools to test it, 90% of students experienced immediate stress relief after the session. Teachers also report improvements in attendance and behavior.

"Exams terrified me. They don't scare me as much any more. It was the most terrifying thing ever. And when I felt that way I would use the headset and it would help me process how I was feeling about it," says 16-year-old Laura Wilson.

❤️ — Every school should have this!
