The digital gaming space is where many young people really want to be! Could meeting them here create new opportunities for supporting their mental health and wellbeing?

Piper Kulkin, Proof Positive's summer intern, got the opportunity to sit down for a conversation with our Chief Wellbeing Officer, Katie Curran, MAPP, and Lynn Fiellin, MD, Founding Director at play2PREVENT Lab at Dartmouth College, to discuss the topic from her recent whitepaper:

“Youth Mental Health: Is Gamification an Option for Intervention?”

Earlier this year, we shared the findings from our inaugural Autism Wellbeing Survey. One finding in particular is worth revisiting:

Wellbeing ranked #1 as the most important priority for autistic individuals across every respondent group.

Autistic individuals, caregivers, educators and providers all agreed that wellbeing matters. But what does it look like to make wellbeing a true priority in the way we think about support?

Our survey findings offer insights from across the autism community and point to opportunities for making wellbeing a bigger part of the conversation.

Everyone deserves happiness. 💙

Earlier this year, Proof Positive brought together leaders in autism, mental health, education and positive psychology for the Everyone Deserves Happiness Summit, a full day conversation about what is needed for autistic individuals and their communities to flourish.

A key takeaway: wellbeing must become a focus of autism intervention.

Could gamification help young people build skills that support mental health and wellbeing? 🎮

In her new exploratory review, “Youth Mental Health: Is Gamification an Option for Intervention?”, Piper Kulkin explores how serious games and gamified interventions can strengthen adolescent mental health, resilience and emotional skills.

Her research takes a look at what makes these digital wellbeing tools engaging, where they may fall short and how to make them more accessible for autistic and neurodivergent youth.

With many young people facing barriers to traditional mental health support, could gamification offer another way to reach them through something they already know and enjoy?
