The Benefits of Therapeutic Gaming
This introductory training starts participants on the long and exciting journey of learning how gaming can have a deeper, more impactful benefit. We discuss educational, social, and behavioral applications from different varieties of tabletop gaming. Group discussion activities include examination of common everyday games to see the rich potential for teaching skills and preparing people for life. This training is offered as both a lecture/powerpoint class and as an in-depth workshop that includes game play with all participants.
Therapy & RPGs Isn't Just D&D
This presentation focuses the lens of therapeutic gaming more specifically to tabletop role playing games. We show connections between aspects of the role playing game hobby and established clinical approaches. Class discussion includes practice case studies where we explore how to inject therapeutic content into a role playing campaign.
Bringing Characters to Life
This unique workshop offers insight into that most basic piece of equipment for any role player - the character sheet. In an experience valuable for new players and veterans alike, we break down the anatomy of a character sheet and show not only what it can teach another person, but what it can help us learn about ourselves, according to who we choose to play. Advanced versions of this class can include examples of character creation for all levels of understanding of the gaming hobby.
