MentaRest operates a metaverse platform that offers avatar-based counseling aimed at preventing employee mental health issues and lowering barriers to seeking help. Counselors on the service are limited to credentialed professionals (clinical psychologists and certified psychologists) and care is overseen by an advisory psychiatrist. The company says major firms had adopted the service as of April 2024 and that repeat-user satisfaction is increasing. MentaRest plans to expand from individual employee offerings into multi-faceted corporate training programs addressing mental health, career development, and business skills. It intends to run evidence-gathering trials in collaboration with government and corporate partners to quantify service effects. Funds from the recent raise will be used to strengthen product development, expand services, and validate service effectiveness.
