The pandemic has magnified the challenges that teens face – especially challenges related to mood, anxiety, attention, & impulsivity. These also happen to be the most prominent risk factors for developing a gaming addiction. Many have buried themselves in a virtual cocoon to get by, but now cannot find a way out. Parents and their teen children are caught up in a battle over electronic use that seems to never end. This is the point at which a more significant, structured intervention is needed to preserve relationships and mental health.
This ten-week program has been designed to help your child develop insight and understanding of their addictive behaviors. In a group setting with other adolescents who share similar struggles, they will learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of gaming & internet addiction, while continually building an inventory of skills that will help serve through life.
