CheckPoint is a charity that provides mental health resources for gamers and the gaming community.
Our missions are to raise awareness for mental health issues, reduce stigma, and improve wellbeing in our community. We are passionate about using video games for positive wellbeing and resilience.
Because CheckPoint is run by both mental health and games industry professionals, our reach spans across both industries and ensures the information we provide is accurate, relevant and implementable.
We are passionate that what we do will change the face of mental healthcare and video game culture forever. Read our latest Biennial Report here.
