PlayMode Academy's February’s newsletter centres around families – from the newly published Journal of Family Therapy article, to resources supporting families to navigate gaming well, to the BACP Children, Young People and Families Conference. Alongside that, you’ll find training updates, job opportunites, a research invitation and spring events.

As a non-profit, impact is really important to us at PlayMode Academy. Over 280 of you registered for our recent free introductory webinar on ‘Exploring Grief through Minecraft’. We’re so pleased to see this level of impact, and we’re glad to be able to share the recording freely with anyone who couldn’t attend live.
