If conversations about gaming in your home often end in frustration, you're not alone. Many parents struggle to understand healthy gaming habits, set boundaries around screen time, and connect with their child's interests.

Level-Up Together: Understanding the Therapeutic Power of Gaming will help parents better understand the psychological and social benefits of gaming while providing practical tools for creating balance at home. You'll leave with greater confidence in supporting your child's relationship with gaming and fostering more meaningful conversations along the way.

Creating a strong support system is one of the most meaningful ways we can help protect the mental health of children, teens, and young adults.

While it's important to understand the warning signs of su***de, prevention also means focusing on the everyday moments that build resilience. Open conversations, trusted relationships, healthy coping skills, community involvement, and access to mental health care all play an important role in helping young people feel connected, supported, and hopeful.

In recognition of Su***de Prevention Month, we've shared practical ways parents and caregivers can strengthen these protective factors and create a lasting safety net for the young people in their lives.

Read our latest blog to learn how small, consistent acts of connection can make a meaningful difference. Read the full blog here: https://buff.ly/spqjGAX

This Su***de Prevention Month, we asked our team to finish one simple sentence:

“If you’re having a hard day, one thing I want you to know is…”

One by one, our team filled the table with handwritten messages of hope, encouragement and connection. Because sometimes support starts with something small: checking in, reminding someone they matter or simply letting them know they don’t have to carry the hard stuff alone.

We hope these words serve as a reminder that connection matters, your presence matters and there are people who care.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Sometimes weekly therapy just isn’t enough support for what a teen is carrying. But getting more help doesn’t have to mean stepping away from school, friends, activities and the routines that keep them connected.

Our After School Intensive Outpatient Program gives students in grades 6–12 a higher level of therapeutic support three days per week while allowing them to stay engaged in their everyday lives.

Through group, individual and family support, teens have space to build coping skills, strengthen resilience and feel more confident navigating the challenges they’re facing, all within a schedule designed around the school day.

Want to learn more and see if our After School IOP could be the right fit for your teen? Schedule a free 15-minute pre-assessment call on our website https://buff.ly/SNaegmE

We’re excited for you to get to know the person behind our upcoming Level Up Together workshop! 🎮

Meet Kwamayne King, MS, NCC, LPC. Kwamayne has been a life long gamer and that love of gaming has found its way into his work as a therapist too.

He knows that for kids and teens, gaming isn’t always just about the game. It can be where friendships happen, where they problem-solve, where they feel successful and sometimes, where they feel most like themselves.

That’s a big part of what inspired Level Up Together: Understanding the Therapeutic Power of Gaming.

This workshop is a chance for parents to step into that world with a little more curiosity and learn how gaming can actually become another way to connect with their child.

Swipe through to get to know Kwamayne, then head to the link in our bio to learn more and register!
