Gaming for Good Mental HealthSitting around a table with a shared activity can create a great sense of togetherness and games provide an amazing buffer if you find socialising difficult. Even though interaction is encouraged by the nature of a game, standard pleasantries and the need for small talk is eliminated and connecting with others becomes easier.
Immersing yourself in a game is also a great way to get your brain thinking about things other than the usual ups and downs of life.
The second Thursday in September every year is R U OK? day.
Game Gatherings in conjunction with R U OK 2 Play? is facilitating a tabletop gaming event, to promote gaming and good mental health. This is a Free, Family Friendly and Neurodivergent Friendly event.
There will be experienced facilitators available to teach games and to ensure you have a memorable experience.
Some games that are available are listed here - https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/GameGatherings
