Therapeutic Role-Playing Game Training Group for Providers

This experiential training group is designed for mental health providers, healers, educators, and community leaders who want to learn how to facilitate therapeutically applied role-playing game (TA-RPGs) groups by engaging as group participants. This unique training provides the opportunity to experience the group process firsthand, learning techniques and methods experientially.

Participants will engage in self-reflection, collaborate in storytelling through role-playing their characters, and immerse themselves in the group process. However, this training is not intended to serve as therapy for providers. Instead, it offers an opportunity to build skills through active participation and discussion. Each session will conclude with group processing and a brief didactic component to link the experiential learning to practical facilitation techniques.
