Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! Today we have something a little different for y'all! It's a Gaming and Mental Health Panel using a similar structure as the Minneapolis Magic Con Panel. This one is Hobbes and some other Psychologist Friends! Dr. Allison Battles has a private practice (found here) that focuses on use of gaming in therapy and Dr. Patrick Cruitt has experience with incorporating TTRPGs into his work. The panel focuses on the recovery model and how gaming can be incorporated into Mental Health Care.
We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources
