The language of video games is one that spans through cultures across the globe, and is practiced in many homes across the country. Technological advancements in this area often leave providers with more questions than answers about how youth are being affected by their video game usage. This training will provide education pertaining to youth who game across a variety of systems, and will offer providers new ways to engage and build rapport with children and adolescents who game in addition to training on how to spot problematic gaming. Cultural considerations related to videogaming will also be reviewed.
