Apex. Halo. Minecraft. Fortnite. LoL. GTA. WoW. Roblox. According to a Pew Research study in2018, an estimated 90% of 13-17-year-old adolescents play video games on their computer, gaming console, or cell phone. Understanding the “Gamer Culture” is critical to the assessment and treatment process, especially for children and adolescents.
This workshop will use lecture and demonstration to introduce participants to various forms of gaming and gaming culture. There will be discussion regarding how gaming may intersect the world of sexuality, including in-game pornography and sexual behavior. In addition, the positive and protective aspects of gaming will be presented. The latest trends in therapeutic gaming will be discussed, including the risks and benefits of directly gaming with your child and adolescent clients. This workshop will provide thought provoking, practical ideas for working with children and adolescents who game.
