Episode 209: The Minneapolis Comic Con Panel

What this episode covers

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 [https://battlerobincounseling.com/]) 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 [https://linktr.ee/GoblinLore] with all of our discounts/resources ____________________________________________ As promised, we keep Mental Health Links available every episode. But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) [https://nami.org/Home] has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article [https://www.nami.org/blogs/nami-blog/october-2017/9-ways-to-fight-mental-health-stigma] on stigma from NAMI's site.
