How Stack Up is still saving lives of veterans through gaming after a decade
Stephen Machuga, CEO of charity Stack Up, believes video games can help veterans feel like they're part of society.
The charity’s efforts include the Stack Up Overwatch Program, provides vital round-the-clock mental health counseling and support to active-duty military personnel, veterans, and civilians as they cope with personal struggles. “Having a community where somebody comes in to our Discord and is having a bad day and they need someone to talk to, or actively saving a person’s life, getting them the resources they need to make it through the night, that’s where the real rubber meets the road, right there. This is what it means to stack up.“I have been working with the games industry for 15 years, trying to scream and kick and yell about veterans and supporting the troops, and it kind of falls on deaf ears,” said Machuga.
