The video game helping children through grief
A video game is helping thousands of vulnerable young people turn their darkest moments into moments of creativity and hope that they can pass on to others.
Apart of Me is designed to help children and young adults open up about their loss and trauma in a safe and supportive environment.
The game, co-founded by Manchester psychologist Louis Weinstock, is now a charity and has helped 44,000 people in the UK, and 160,000 worldwide to understand and process their grief.
Mr Weinstock said it was designed to put them "on a better path" to "transform their grief into compassion".
