Can computer games improve mental health?
People Fixing the World
Apart of Me is a computer game that has been designed to help young people process grief. Itβs part of a movement thatβs bringing together psychology and gaming. Whilst many parents worry about the distraction of games consoles and smart phones, some psychologists believe they can be used as a force for good. We meet the therapist who sets their clients computer games as homework and see how one specially-designed game brings real benefits for mental health. Produced and presented by Daniel Gordon.
