The Healthy Approach to Gaming
A groundbreaking and CPD accredited ed-tech company dedicated to healthy gaming
Do you think that gaming is a problem? If you do, you wouldn’t be alone – it’s a divisive subject. People either think it’s great, or it’s awful. Gamewell are here to bridge the gap between gaming culture and anti-gaming culture with our groundbreaking ed-tech platform.
We understand gaming. We know that when used correctly it has a multitude of benefits. However, we also know that problem gaming is real, and we appreciate how much it can impact on the lives of gamers and their families. Our Gamewell Professionals course is here to help you make you make a difference.
Gaming doesn’t have to cause problems. When it’s done properly, it can actually be a fantastic tool that can be used for education, improving teamwork, socialising, and even help people process trauma.
However, we know that not everyone has such a good relationship with gaming. Problem gaming is a real thing which can impact on player’s lives in a multitude of negative ways. It can affect sleep patterns, academic work, social skills, and physical health.
Our goal is for every gamer to be able to have the good sides of gaming, with none of the bad.
You will get a wide and objective overview of gaming. Our course is scientifically informed, but each point is contextualised and thoroughly explained. We approach gaming from a holistic point of view, in which we look at every aspect of it. We understand gaming culture, people’s motivations to game, and what the symptoms of problem gaming look like.
