Andrew Kinch GameAware Founder has 25 years gaming experience, and nearly 15 years of well-being and teaching experience, his skillset is primed to tackle gaming issues by using Intelligent Gaming Strategies to help gamers enjoy their games without it being the number one priority in their lives.
Andrew approaches gaming “addictions” with experience-based strategies and current information on the psychology of games. It’s worth mentioning that a video game addiction isn’t the correct terminology. Recently, the World Health Organization has classified “Gaming Disorder” in the ICD. There is still some disagreement on whether the classification will be harmful or helpful. However, we do know that overplaying has a negative impact on gamers, and when someone games excessively or obsessively, it’s usually triggered by an underlying cause, not the games.
This program’s goal is to improve mental health as much as it is designed to reduce excessive gaming, and it’s as much about educating adults as it is children.
