Video Games and Mental Health
Speaker:
Tiana Morgan - Communications Coordinator for GAP
Sabrina Lybeck- South Saskatchewan Coordinator for GAP
Synopsis:
Today's conversation will focus on how video games have changed over the years and what effect that has had on the people who play them. The Gambling Awareness Program has focused more and more on the changing video game landscape as developers have add new game features that emulate common gambling mechanics. We will talk about how these mechanics impact gamers and specifically young gamers who may not have had exposure to traditional gambling products. We will also talk about how video games both positively affect and negatively affect those who play them.

LB- Carmen Ledding- Into into Understanding Grief and Loss
With Christmas around the corner the discussion of loss is much needed.
Today we will be joined by Carmen Ledding to discuss our Course "Understanding Grief and Loss"
Every person will experience grief and loss – a profound sense of final separation from something or someone important. Grief is a normal and appropriate reaction to the death of a loved one, the experience of separation/divorce, intergenerational loss, or the loss of opportunity. While there are similarities in how individuals work through loss, grief is a complicated and unique experience that requires us to understand our own grieving process. This course is designed to increase our awareness of the dynamics of grief, and to provide tools and strategies to best support someone who is grieving and ourselves

LB-Kids and Stress- Danielle Cameron
Kids & Stress is a one-and-a-half-hour-long course designed to help children manage stress. The class discusses some of the many significant stressful life events kids may go through. Bullying, pressure from school, or significant worldly news events can take center stage in a young mind causing distress, anxiety, or anger. We’ll discuss how to talk about these events and explore ways to help reduce a child’s stress level. We’ll practice some of these techniques, and for those who want to follow along, we have a short crafting session near the end of the class (registrants will receive a supply list in their registration email).
This short but informative session would be helpful for parents of young kids and those who work with small children
