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.

I often get asked for references related to the therapeutic use of Minecraft and video games so I have put together a list of articles, books and resources.

Reflections and case material from a newly published Journal of Family Therapy article exploring systemic work with families in Minecraft.

I often get asked how to reduce motion sickness in Minecraft, so I’ve made a popular YouTube video which provides some tips.

If you suffer from motion sickness when watching or playing the game, then fear not, as there are a number of steps you can take to reduce motion sickness in Minecraft.

This January newsletter shares updates from PlayMode Academy, including upcoming trainings, a free CPD webinar on Exploring Grief in Minecraft, conference dates, and opportunities to get involved in research and become a PlayMode Academy trainer.
