Do you have clients who love video games such as Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite? Do you want to be able to engage more with their interests? Are you thinking about playing these games with your clients? This presentation will provide key information about these games so that you feel more confident talking about them with clients and even playing them together in sessions. Video games can be helpful tools to engage clients in therapy as they offer a rich environment for therapeutic elements such as connection, social skills learning, creativity, use of metaphor, and role playing. No gaming experience necessary.
