I’m excited to announce that I’m launching a new group that should be really fun!
LFG
A weekly support group for anybody who loves video games. This group is a space to share how video games support us, entertain us, and enrich our lives. There will be opportunities to share how video games connect to who we are, how we feel about ourselves, and how we connect with others. We will talk about how our love of video games impacts the rest of our life: friends, family, work, school, etc. This group will be a resource for supporting us to engage in video games mindfully and intentionally.
This is not a support group for video game addiction. If you believe you are struggling with video game addiction you are welcome to join this group and we will probably discuss feelings of addiction to video games often, but this is not specifically an addiction support group.
This is an open drop-in group until July, at which point it will be closed with whoever is in the group at that time. After that, there will be opportunities to join the group only a few times per year.
We will be meeting on Wednesday afternoons, 4 pm to 5:30 pm, via Zoom, to maximize accessibility.
