In-person Groups at WBMA

Join our experienced Game Masters on a wild adventure through a fantastical land in one of our new Therapeutic Tabletop Roleplaying Game (TTRPG) Groups! You’ll be a member of a guild dedicated to defeating monsters that threaten the safety and security of a peaceful land.  Along the way, you’ll meet powerful allies, fight monstrous foes, and learn about yourself. You’ll also grow team-building skills, learn new problem-solving techniques, and improve lateral thinking.

We currently offer groups for Middle School students (ages 11-14), High School students (ages 15-18) and Young Adults.  All genders, races, and demographics are welcome. You can be an experienced gamer or brand new to TTRPG. Each group will cap at 5 clients. Groups will meet for 2 hours per week. Dates and times TBD based on therapist and group member availability. Our groups will be based primarily on a Dungeons and Dragons (DND) Fifth Edition (5E) (TM) approach. 

Therapeutic Goals include:

1. Building self-confidence and advocacy skills in challenging situations.
2. Developing communication abilities with different kinds of people, in different kinds of roles.
3. Using language and cooperative techniques to advocate for and navigate towards a specific goal.
4. Practicing thinking ‘outside the box’ to logically analyze and solve problems
