I’m psyched to share what we’re building for young people navigating their transition to “adulthood”. Summary: liminal-learning.com To start, here’s the set of 7 principles upon which the experiences we’re designing for those youth are based. LFG🚀💜 pod.fo/e/1fb5e1
Would love to hear from you! It’s an exciting new phase in our work, arguably the most important: the actual roll out to the kids who would benefit most! It’s been a LONG road and I’d love to help others interested in designing games that REALLY work for kids’ mental health.

📣 Curious about how we created our most effective game against anxiety, #MindLight? Finally, a publicly available version is coming out this fall, and to celebrate we are hosting a special #GEMHSession! Send in your questions before Wed Oct 4th, and we'll answer them! 📨

Here at #ECP2023 w/ Hanneke Scholten, representing @GEMH_Lab and presenting our work, together with the amazing Linda Tip, @Rebecca_Grist and @PsychBrighton. But.. massive admiration for all who are persevering in the face of lay-offs, pay cuts & failing policies. #aveBrightonUni
1 Year ago today @yoanneke and I organized the GEMH Game Gallery, a one-day event at @TiVre_Utrecht aaaalll about #games and #wellbeing. The journey was REAL, but we’d do it all over again (even bigger 😎). Here’s a throwback! 💜 youtu.be/trvq2GroA5M @GEMH_Lab
In this amazing collaboration with @BuddhistGeeks, we’re launching a research study to find out how #social #meditation may support our #wellbeing. Read more about this study and sign up on our Eventbrite page! eventbrite.com/cc/social-medi…

Dear #PhDs of the world. PhDs can be stressful times, and just that bit of overview can make a big diff. So I’m making a @NotionHQ template for PhDs to navigate their journey, based on my own XP (and yours). Any interest? And what would you need in it? #phdlife #AcademicChatter

@GEMH_Lab 's thoughtful social media expert, @Gryphire , weighs in on the problems with Jonathan Haidt's takes on social media research. She's measured and cautious, as required, but these issues need to be raised and talked about way more than they are gemhlab.com/blog/social-me…
