  • Perhaps you have heard of dungeons and dragons or pathfinder - TTRPGs use similar adapted gameplay to meet therapy goals.

    These games focus on collaborative gameplay. Group members collaborate with each other with role-playing characters they create to explore fictional worlds and real-life relationships.

    TTRPGs take place in the physical world, where players gather around a table to interact. Groups are typically structured with a 5-minute check-in, 60 minutes of gameplay and 25 minutes for group processing.

    Your clinician will be trained using the Game to Grow Method (gametogrow.org) using Critical Core or another module to meet the goals of your group.

  • In the eight-week series, we will explore capacities of regulation, collaboration, planning, perspective, and pretend play.
