iThrive's Clinician Guides are a resource for mental health professionals who use or want to use games in treatment as a way to engage teens on their terms. It's impossible to be knowledgeable about every game a client is playing but savvy clinicians understand the importance of using a client's passion to pursue treatment goals. These information sheets about popular commercial games can inform therapeutic discussion and, more importantly, demonstrate genuine interest and support for the client.
Created by mental health professionals who are familiar with the games and have used them in therapeutic settings, each Clinician Guide has also been reviewed by a licensed mental health professional.
