Gamer Therapy

Gaming stereotypes have become outdated. Many still associate this popular pastime with violence or suicide, but recent studies have found that people increasingly use games to build meaningful connections, open up about their feelings, and de-stress. You could say it’s a form of therapy, a way to cope with a whole new set of anxieties brought on by 2020.

On World Mental Health Day we launched Gamer Therapy. A new initiative that builds on what gamers are already doing by pairing them with real therapists to conduct therapy sessions while they play.

We partnered with Skillshot, the prominent e-sports company, and Rise Above the Disorder (RAD), a non-profit dedicated to battling the two greatest barriers to mental health care - access and affordability. Learn more at gamertherapy.live
