Last year a Kickstarter campaign launched for a new webseries that aims to help those with mental health issues using the power of videogames. Called CheckPoint, the webseries is now ready to kick-off starting January 29. Over two seasons, the series will focus on information about mental health issues, with games industry interviews with those who have lived through them.

With the kicker being an exploration about the uses of video games for positive well-being. Check out the trailer below.
