InWorld was designed by experts in medical and behavioral health to be applicable to a broad range of clinical and educational settings. It places control of the virtual world in the hands of the facilitator, who controls access to the system and can change the location, roles and perspectives of themselves and the participants.

Feature Overview

Low Cost

low costTo keep start-up costs low, InWorld runs on standard computers over the internet which means that leaders are not required to purchase any specialty hardware or traditional software to start using InWorld. Please contact us for our most up to date pricing.

Easy to Learn and Use

Using a simplistic user interface of on-screen buttons and easy keyboard commands for movement, InWorld is surprisingly intuitive. Many young users require no special instruction on how to use InWorld, while nearly everyone is comfortable within the world after one hour. Self-help training modules, a quick start guide, and a detailed user manual are always available and customized training is also offered.

Makes Sessions Lively and Fun

Rather than forcing therapy or training on users under traditional methods, InWorld focuses embracing technology to meet users where they are. Clinicians and educators often report being able to build rapport and make connections in the very first session using InWorld, when it has often taken four or five sessions to do the same thing with traditional face to face methods.

Brings People Together

InWorld users can participate in one on one or group interactions through their avatars from school, home, or at the office. Since the system is web-based and runs on standard computers, users from diverse geographic locations can come together into the same online virtual space to interact with one another and share experiences.

Offers Different Perspectives

Sessions can be recorded and can be saved for review. When sessions are played back, the user has the ability to view the interaction from different perspectives, making the tool particularly effective for role playing scenarios by allowing users to see the interaction from multiple perspectives.

Privacy and Security

Designed to respect the inseparable relationship between behavioral health and education, InWorld is a tool built by a behavioral health company to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of discussing sensitive issues. Consequently, InWorld is an excellent skills training tool for teachers, coaches, counselors, or clinicians for users with clinical diagnoses.

Unlike other online virtual worlds for social networking, InWorld was specifically designed to support HIPPA compliance by offering a private online meeting place where only users that are invited by the leader may participate.
