Gamers vs Depression
PEOPLE GLITCH TOO
There is no denying that life can be tough. We’re all in this journey together and there is a lot more we can often do to look after ourselves and the people we care about. At Play Aid, we provide a platform for gamers experiencing tough times themselves, supporting people they care about, or are aware of the importance of community in protecting their mental health and wellbeing. The project is called Gamers vs. Depression.
FEEL CONNECTED
There’s an assumption that living a healthy lifestyle involves eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly and getting adequate sleep. But social connection is rarely mentioned, even though it is pivotal to both our mental and physical wellbeing. Research suggests that loneliness is rising dramatically, and that an absence or lack of human connection could be more harmful to your health than obesity, smoking and high blood pressure.
BELONG TO A TEAM
It can be helpful to chat with with other likeminded people. At Play Aid, we run weekly game nights and recreational tournaments where we can all come together to kick back and have a chat. You don't have to share what's going on if you don't want to. First and foremost, we're here if you just fancy a game. Whether you play a one off game or join a team, there is no pressure.
