Visions Gamers Support Group

This will be an eight-weekly group and will be a combination of psychoeducation and experiential learning on gaming, screen time, and online addictive behavior patterns.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is defined as a pattern of gaming behaviour characterised by impaired control over gaming with increasing priority given to gaming over other activities. Such behaviour ends up taking precedence over other interests and daily activities, and continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences.

The online world has been artificially and intentionally constructed by mega-gaming corporations to meet universal human needs that are sometimes missing in the gamer’s current physical world. These can include – having a safe space, social connections, validated self-esteem, and sense of purpose in life.
