PAX South 2016 – Please Don’t Punch the GM: Adventures in Gaming Therapy


Games like Dungeons and Dragons are often regarded by pop culture as nerdy and antisocial, but Wheelhouse Workshop founders Adam Davis and Adam Johns use them to help their neurodiverse teen clients become more confident and socially capable. Come hear how these lifelong gamers used their training in counseling, drama therapy, and human development to embark on a new frontier in therapy, ask questions about your own gaming experience, and celebrate how the games we love are more than just games.

Panelists: Adam Johns [Executive Director, Website], Adam Davis [Founder, Website]
