The Erika Legacy Foundation is fundraising for a therapeutic Role Play Gaming pilot. We would love your support. Recent studies indicate that playing Role Play Games has a profoundly positive impact on mental health. According to a 2024 study, a cohort of players showed significant decreases in depression, stress, and anxiety, alongside increases in self-esteem and self-efficacy over an eight-week period of play. I have watched one of the most amazing 35 week game during Covid on Twitch with a group called Tablestory. It offered distraction, agency, positive feedback loops, and socialization. Research suggests that RPGs provide a meaningful and lasting boost to mental health.

In my latest article, I explore how cyberpsychology and gamification are transforming mental health support. By blending psychology insights with game design elements, apps and digital platforms can engage us in meaningful ways—tracking small victories, celebrating progress, and keeping us motivated in our self-care journey. This intersection of tech and mental health is creating new ways to connect, grow, and build resilience in the digital age.
