Send us a text message! :D

Welcome to The Lobby, the gamer series where community meets science. Hosted by Heather and Stephan. Each episode dives into real research to explore how video games can support mental health, build confidence, and help us grow together. Whether you're a seasoned player or just picking up the controller, there's a place for you here.

Today, we’re looking at a study titled, “Exploring the possible mental health and wellbeing benefits of video games for adult players: A cross-sectional study.” You can find the study here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9749564/
