In modern society, mental health support is a relevant component that affects the quality of life of people of all age groups, their social communication, well-being, etc. Since in Ukraine (as well as globally) the number of people with mental health problems is constantly growing, state support in the form of social projects and the introduction of modern information technologies to support and monitor mental health is extremely relevant. The article presents the relevance of the use of modern technologies based on virtual reality; provides an analysis of the latest research that indicates the effectiveness of virtual reality for overcoming social difficulties, depression and stressful conditions. A prototype of a mental health support system is proposed, which uses personalized recommendations for a psychologist and therapist and the support of a virtual assistant. The information system of the mental health support system is modeled based on recommendations, a use case diagram, activity diagrams, and state transitions describing the system are presented. Virtual reality applications created using the Unreal Engine 5.x game engine are described.
