Webinar: How Gaming can help with Mental Well-being

In today’s digital age, video games have become a widely popular form of entertainment for people of all ages. However, what many people may need to realize is that video games have the potential to be a powerful tool for improving mental health. Gaming therapy, or game-based therapy, involves using video games to address various mental health concerns, such as anx-iety, depression, and stress.

Using video games in mental health treatment is a concept that has been introduced previously. Research has shown that gaming therapy can positively impact cognitive function, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and social connection. With the increasing accessibility and advance-ment of technology, gaming therapy has become an even more promising avenue for improving mental health.
