It takes one to know one.
Our mentoring takes place online, supporting clients in Australia, USA, Canada, and New Zealand.
This service is all about personal growth and developing resilience for gamers. Through building self-awareness, we help clients find fulfillment in the real world, while continuing to enjoy a healthy relationship with gaming. We blend Motivational Interviewing techniques with GameAware methodology to achieve these goals.
Mentoring goes beyond reducing gaming time.
It's about learning how to become optimal in real life by building healthy engagement and developing valuable skills, such as:
- Overcoming Resistance: Supporting clients to start or continue projects they find challenging, whether related to school, hobbies, or family life."
- Time Management: Helping set schedules to balance gaming with responsibilities.
- Balance: Optimize the balance between school performance, gaming, and other interests, ensuring a healthy engagement with all aspects of life.
- Goal Setting: Weekly check-ins to establish and work towards meaningful goals.
- Emotional & Self-Regulation: Developing skills to manage emotions and behaviors in and outside of gaming environments.
Service Structure:
- Weekly Sessions: 60-minute sessions conducted via Discord, sometimes even while gaming, to better connect with our clients.
- Parent Involvement: A 15-minute parent support session each week provides summaries of goals being worked on, insights from sessions, and specific strategies that can be useful at home. Parents are key partners in the journey.
- Parent Toolkit: An online resource that offers videos with key strategies to support their child's growth.
- Accountability: Weekly goal setting and check-ins help keep clients on track for both their gaming habits and real-world objectives.
