![]() For those of you who didn't see their presentation at the ICDL annual conference, we'd like to introduce an exciting project that applies DIR principles in a fresh and exciting way. Critical Core is a tabletop role-playing game for kids, tweens and teens, but it’s more than just a game. Even though it’s filled with dragons, magic, and mystery, it’s a social skills enrichment program designed to build functional-emotional capacities and real-world skills.
One of the most exciting aspects of this project is the prospect of changing the way traditional ‘social skills’ therapy takes place in this age group. Critical Core provides a safe, fun, immersive, relationship-based experience for players and enables players to discover how to enjoy one another, connect, and relate.
There is great potential here to change the landscape of services for youth, but they absolutely cannot do it without your help. Critical Core will be launched on Kickstarter, with proceeds going towards producing the game kits and funding educational materials and programs.
Please head to https://www.criticalcore.org to find out more, sign-up to the Critical Core mailing list, and help spread the word through social media. |
