Games For Love saving lives, and creating sustainable futures for children, today announced a full slate of October events designed to bring together communities, creators, and brands under one mission: Helping Kids for Life.
From transformative career summits to global fundraisers and competitive gaming tournaments, Games For Love’s October activations showcase how gaming can positively impact lives. Leading the way is the World Mental Health Day Itch.io Bundle, dedicated to supporting children facing mental-health challenges.
1 in 5 children struggle with mental-health issues, and hospital stays are often frightening and lonely. Games and therapy reduce anxiety, pain, and depression—helping kids heal through play. Every bundle purchase funds Distraction Therapy and Play Therapy sessions, lifesaving support, and education programs delivered by Games For Love worldwide.
