HOW IT WORKS
“We create resilient, high performers from varying walks of life - ultimately reducing costs for employers and health care payers.”
— Dr. Suzanne Mitchell, SYH Founder and CEO
the virtual world
At SYH, we are real people behind the avatars. Our team of clinicians and health coaches all live in the virtual world with your employees and patients, leading the programming, your organization needs, whether it be corporate retreats and leadership initiatives or wellness education and therapeutic support groups.

feels like play
This is not a video game, but it is a playground. In an increasingly remote environment with unparalleled rates of stress, isolation and anxiety, our engagement-first technology and intrinsic driven approach will empower your patients and professional teams, yet it’ll feel like school recess.
The proteus effect
Resiliency training is the backbone of all SYH programming and all curriculums invoke the scientifically-backed social phenomenon known as the Proteus Effect, where avatar-driven behavior primes real life change.
We utilize a 3-D, social gaming environment for facilitator-led, simulation-based learning where:
avatars promote idealism of self
live voice encourages authentic human connection
optional anonymity allows vulnerability and intimacy, important for both chronic disease patients and those in high-stakes professions like physicians and police
an imaginative landscape & novel activities provide escapism and a reinvigorated sense of self and professional culture.
empowers change
Whether anonymous or known, participants visit art galleries, wind surf, horseback ride, meditate, dance, and much more, all in a group environment with interwoven experiential learning that results in improved health and professional outcomes. From losing weight and reducing anxiety to enhanced work performance and team culture - transformative change happens here.
