How Animal Crossing Has Helped Thousands
This peaceful world of Animal Crossing, featuring cute animal characters has provided a sanctuary and safe haven for people wanting to find a way to escape. Patients of The Richards’ Centre in Crawley have frequently told us about a soothing game that helps with mindfulness. Having enjoyed playing it ourselves, we think you’ll enjoy it too.
Animal Crossing Mindfulness
The Video game featuring anthropomorphic animals was released just before Lockdown when we all hid away. Since then, it has become one of the country’s favourite hobbies.
Like previous instalments of the series, the concept of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is fairly simple: Live in a virtual island, help residents, go fishing and build houses – even visit a museum.
Helping Mental Health
The game extends more than fixing loneliness and frustration, it can help mental health too. Francesca from Crawley suffers from Anxiety, but playing the game with a soothing pace and characters have helped stop her mind racing about the difficult world outside.
Bringing a Slice of Calmness
Animal Crossing brings a slice of calm and a way to socialise and share the game with others without necessarily meeting up.
We hope you enjoy!!
