Time: 9.30 am – 12.30 pm

Trainer: Mr Nicholas Gabriel Lim (Principal Psychologist and on the board of directors at COMEBACK)
This workshop is a follow-up to the webinar on “Understanding Games, Gamers and Game Addiction”.
The application of strategies and theories in a real-life family situation is not easy. Role play is a good tool to help contextualize the strategies and theories for home situations and deepen the adoption of strategies by re-enacting them in a safe environment.
The trainer will put out common scenarios families face and use role play to illustrate the application of the strategies and theories previously discussed. Those who have not attended the previous webinar are also welcome to register.
Limited to 30 participants. Registration closes on 7 August 2023.
