\nNew nonprofit launches, dedicated to illuminating the art and science of beneficial media with an emphasis on mental health, founded by Mike Wilson (games-industry veteran), backed by Nanea Reeves (founder and CEO of TRIPP) and Terry Gross (prominent civil rights attorney)<\/b><\/p>\n

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Just in time for Mental Health Awareness Month, Medicinal Media, a brand new nonprofit organization, has launched by showing the world its first project: an online publication not quite like any other. The site, medicinal-media.org<\/a>, is exploring the intersection of art and science as it relates to wellness, with a focus on mental health. Digital media offerings, of one type or another, are at the core of what they mean when they reference Medicinal Media<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\nAs for the \u201cmedicinal\u201d part, that includes more than you might assume.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re showing readers how to use media, including art, more mindfully,\u201d says Elizabeth Seward, who is executive editor. \u201cOur stories cover media that\u2019s been designed specifically for wellness \u2014 like video games that can offer therapeutic treatment, playlists created by music therapists, and apps meant to assist with meditation \u2014 but also everyday art and media offerings that can be enjoyed and embraced in evidence-based ways for better health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe publication features original, curious, and inspiring stories that help readers understand how to best consume, create, and otherwise utilize media with intention. You\u2019ll find just as much science as you will personal narrative and, to round it all out, the visuals are a point of pride for the nonprofit.<\/p>\n

\nJennymarie Jemison, Medicinal Media\u2019s art director, gets to do something that\u2019s quickly becoming rare these days: commission and license original editorial artwork for the pieces. \u201cFinding artists that align with the perspective of the authors and being able to pay them for their beautiful work is so rewarding,\u201d Jemison shares. But lovely artwork and articles aren\u2019t all the site brings to the world\u2019s table. Rob VanAlkemade is Medicinal Media\u2019s executive producer and is at the helm of video creation. He has decades of experience working on documentaries and network programs, but this project stands out from the rest.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFrom my first job in media interviewing Holocaust survivors for Steven Spielberg\u2019s Shoah Foundation many years back to producing and directing Digital Addiction<\/i> episodes for A&E a few months ago, I\u2019ve been so motivated and grateful when my work has been beneficial in some way \u2014 socially, culturally, historically,\u201d says VanAlkemade. He explains that having projects that feel deeply rewarding isn\u2019t always the norm, but things are different with this undertaking. \u201cNow, at Medicinal Media, there\u2019s a full-time, intrinsic benefit to this work \u2014 making media about beneficial media, addressing so many critical issues with compelling science, art, and incredibly life-affirming information.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nMike Wilson, founder of Medicinal Media<\/a>, is also excited about the endeavor. Wilson is known throughout the world of indie games (Devolver Digital, DeepWell DTx, Gathering of Developers, Gamecock Media Group, Take-Two Interactive, id Software, Good Shepherd Entertainment) and has witnessed the transformative power of media, specifically video games, over the course of his career. \u201cThe importance of digital media as a tool for healing in the ongoing mental health crisis \u2014 which we\u2019re currently losing by a landslide with traditional means, even when people are lucky enough to have access to them \u2014 cannot be underestimated,\u201d Wilson says. \u201cDigital media is accessible to most people around the planet, much of it for free or at a significantly lower cost than traditional therapy and medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAccording to the still-small team at Medicinal Media, this project is about inspiring curiosity, hope, and, cliche as it might sound, change.<\/i><\/p>\n

\nFor Kelly Knoche, the executive director, skills from her background as a K-12 educator and founder of The Teaching Well nonprofit have been handy in this mission to explore and share. \u201cI see Medicinal Media as another iteration of what has moved me professionally since the beginning: a desire to make the practice of self and collective care accessible to as many people as possible,\u201d Knoche says. \u201cIn a world where we are simultaneously intertwined with technology while loudly stating our fears of it, Medicinal Media searches for ways we can have a nourishing relationship with technology that\u2019s worth celebrating.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re so very excited to investigate along with our audience,\u201d Wilson adds.<\/p>\n

\nAs a nonprofit organization, Medicinal Media depends on donations to operate. To learn more about supporting this work, reach out to kelly(@)medicinal-media.org. To explore the stories, science, art, or simply sign up for the newsletter, visit medicinal-media.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
