UTSPA Wellness Session on Gaming
UTSPA’s Wellness Committee invites you to join a much anticipated virtual session on Tuesday, June 4 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Video gaming continues to merge into the lives of families. While gaming can offer great opportunities for fun, education and connection, it can also bring about problems. Sometimes these problems can leave families feeling disconnected, blamed and helpless. Through a one-hour, online workshop, Dale Andersen-Giberson MSW, RSW will offer a number of responses to video gaming difficulties that he has encountered in his practice.
