Video Games & Mental Health w. GAP

Title:
Video Games and Mental Health

Speaker:
Tiana Morgan - Communications Coordinator for GAP
Sabrina Lybeck- South Saskatchewan Coordinator for GAP

Synopsis:
Today's conversation will focus on how video games have changed over the years and what effect that has had on the people who play them. The Gambling Awareness Program has focused more and more on the changing video game landscape as developers have add new game features that emulate common gambling mechanics. We will talk about how these mechanics impact gamers and specifically young gamers who may not have had exposure to traditional gambling products. We will also talk about how video games both positively affect and negatively affect those who play them.
