What visitors experience. In about 20 minutes, players step into the world of Lisa, a teenager manipulated by someone she trusts, and find the warning signs themselves. In a study by the University of North Texas Health Science Center and Texas Christian University, healthcare professionals' attitudes toward helping survivors improved 446% after a single 20-minute session.

Why it matters. "People can usually sense something is wrong long before they can name it," said Billy Joe Cain, co-founder of Radical Empathy Education Foundation. "TRAPPED gives them the words, and the practice, in about 20 minutes."
