In-person Groups at WBMA
Therapeutic Tabletop Roleplaying Game Group
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:
- Building self-confidence and advocacy skills in challenging situations.
- Developing communication abilities with different kinds of people, in different kinds of roles.
- Using language and cooperative techniques to advocate for and navigate towards a specific goal.
- Practicing thinking ‘outside the box’ to logically analyze and solve problems
