CONNECTING WITH OTHERS: At Roll for Therapy, we focus on helping everyone find “their people.” Whether you are neurodiverse, quirky, or simply shy, we can’t wait to help you connect.
ROLLING DICE: Everything is done in game form, allowing players to focus on creativity and fun while we sneak in learning engaement and social skills.
Building Social Skills and Connections In our Role Playing Game group sessions, participants engage in a collaborative storytelling experience that fosters social skills and emotional growth. Through roleplaying, they learn to:
**Practice Social Skills**: Interact in a fun, low-stress environment that encourages communication and teamwork.
**Build Friendships**: Get to know peers without the pressure of awkward small talk, creating bonds over shared adventures.
**Express Creativity**: Find a creative outlet that goes beyond screens and video games, allowing imagination to flourish.
**Gain Support**: Connect with peers who understand their experiences and offer empathy and encouragement.
**Feel Comfortable**: Participate in a smaller, less intimidating online setting where they can be themselves.
Individual: Personal Growth Through Roleplay For individuals, Roll for Therapy offers a unique platform for personal exploration and growth. Players take on hero personas, confronting challenges that mirror real-life situations. This process helps them:
**Develop Problem-Solving Skills**: Navigate complex scenarios and make decisions that affect the outcome of the game.
**Enhance Self-Esteem**: Build confidence through accomplishments within the game world.
**Explore Identity**: Experiment with different character traits and explore aspects of their identity in a safe space.
Roll for Therapy aims to create a nurturing environment where individuals (in age-appropriate groups)
can strengthen their connections through gaming activities that enhance social skills while having fun.
How we do it
WE ARE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR GAMING EXPERIENCE WHILE INTRODUCING THE THERAPY ASPECT TO GAMING.
NOVICE: We teach our players step-by-step without any expectation of experience in the games we use. We provide all the resources they will need: a tablet for quick and easy character development, dice for game mechanics, and a game master who is ready and excited to help your player.
BEGINNER: Maybe your player has tried the games at school or at a local community event. We will help them transition their experience so that they can quickly pick up the game with us while we incorporate skills they need in the real work into their gaming experience, unlike what they get elsewhere.
EXPERT: Your player has been rolling crits since before they could add. Then, they can jump into the deep end and adventure with the best of them. We can provide additional resources that can be used outside of our games and potentially benefit their personal games! We will sneak in leadership and interpersonal skill development while we are at it.
