Transforming the Gaming Industry: Rosie Taylor of Safe In Our World

The Game Changers series highlights individuals and groups dedicated to creating a better gaming industry. This interview features Rosie Taylor, who discusses her role as content and community manager at Safe In Our World, a mental health charity focused on the gaming community. Taylor's path to the gaming industry was unconventional, having started in healthcare during the pandemic. She was drawn to Safe In Our World due to its mission to reduce stigma around mental health in gaming. As the charity's first hire, Taylor oversees the website, which aims to encourage open discussions about mental health, and hosts the Safe In Our World podcast, amplifying voices and stories within the industry. Her goal is to create a culture shift, promoting well-being policies and inclusive events. Taylor also co-organizes events with Super Rare's Anni Valkama, focusing on accessible and sensory-friendly gatherings. She hopes to expand opportunities in underrepresented areas of the UK, making the gaming industry more welcoming and supportive for all.
