Safe In Our World Workshops
- Online or in-person | Worldwide
Safe In Our World has developed a series of workshops designed to address some of the most common mental health conditions and related issues experienced across the global games industry. Following each session, attendees will receive a copy of the slide deck with additional resources and further reading relevant to each topic.
These sessions can be delivered individually as 1-hour sessions or combined into longer workshops. We can also discuss creation of bespoke sessions or adaptations of existing materials to better fit your teams.
