Introducing SIDEKICK: Safe In Our World’s Mental Health Journal!

This week, a lucky bunch of our team finally got their hands on Sidekick: The Video Games Mental Health Journal by Safe in Our World!

What is Safe In Our World’s Sidekick?

Pretty, huh!?



Sidekick: The Video Games Mental Health Journal isn’t just an ordinary journal; it’s a dedicated resource geared towards enhancing the mental well-being of gamers and absolutely anyone else in search of support.

Inside you’ll find 140 pages packed full of mental health activities, resources, prompts, and free space allowing you to doodle to your heart’s content! Eagle-eyed Ripstone gamers will even spot an appearance from a certain hard hat tester from Stick it to the Man!

Think of it as a trusted companion or helpful tool that’ll work to bridge the gap between you and your beloved games. When you require a comforting presence, Sidekick is here for you. Whether you’re seeking a space to express yourself freely through writing and colouring or seeking tailored assistance for the challenges you’re facing, such as breathing exercises and thought-provoking journal prompts, Sidekick is here to stand by your side.

You can order your very own Sidekick, here – with proceeds in aid of Safe In Our World.

Who is Safe In Our World?

Safe In Our World is the incredible video games mental health charity that, since being founded in 2019, has been on a mission to increase mental health awareness within the video games industry.

Ripstone became a Safe In Our World ‘Level Up’ Partner in May 2020, and in doing so made a public commitment to make better mental health practices a priority. Since then, the charity has massively inspired us to do more and more to help our teams and ensure that all of our working environments are safe and supportive for all.
