Tom Hollenstein (Psychology) is running a two-year trial to see if the video game can help youth cope with and eventually conquer their anxiety.

The develops video games such as MindLight with the goal of promoting emotional resilience in youth. Left unchecked, anxiety in youth is shown to lead to higher rates of substance abuse, school absenteeism, depression and suicide.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The game gives kids a chance to practice regulating their emotions at their own pace and in a safe space using a popular tool, a video game. The idea is that through the game, they will learn how to deal with anxiety-provoking situations,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Hollenstein, who is using a grant from the Ontario Mental Health Foundation to conduct the research.

MindLight is designed for children aged eight to 16 years old. Players enter a scary mansion and learn their grandmother was abducted by the shadows. They must travel the dark hallways, solve puzzles and avoid frightening monsters to find their grandmother.

To beat the darkness, players wear Teru the Magical Hat who teaches the player how to use their 카지노 게임 컬렉션�mind light카지노 게임 컬렉션� mounted on that magical hat. Players wear a neurofeedback headset called that measures the player카지노 게임 컬렉션�s level of relaxation or anxiety and that information is incorporated into key features of game play.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�If the trial results are positive, it could lead the way to an entirely new way of treating anxious children and help researchers better understand the power of video games,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Hollenstein says.

The trial, conducted with the support of Dr. Hollenstein카지노 게임 컬렉션�s co-investigators Sarosh Khalid-Khan (Psychiatry) and Isabel Granic (Psychology), includes two elements. The first takes place through the Mood and Anxiety Treatment Program at Hotel Dieu. For the second part, Dr. Hollenstein카지노 게임 컬렉션�s research team is partnering with local schools to identify at-risk youth and work with them to determine if the game play can help reduce children카지노 게임 컬렉션�s anxiety.
