Glen Gerreyn: Game Over - Disconnecting Our Kids
An interactive, relevant and contemporary presentation on the nature and process of addiction including examples of computer usage, drugs and alcohol, social media, video games, smartphones, pornography and toxic relationships. Because we all have the potential to be addicted to something, Game Over addresses the psychological effects of addiction rather than just the physical attributes of chemical substances.
The seminar educates parents and carers on the four psychological effects of addiction; experimentation, misuse, fixation and dependency. Parents are shown the emotional states associated with each stage and the behaviour characteristics that accompany them. This gives parents a realistic and ‘everyday’ understanding on how easily addiction can progress from one stage to the next.
At the conclusion of this one hour seminar, parents and carers will leave feeling informed and prepared with realistic ideas to help their children create healthy habits.
Date: Monday 9 March 2020
Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm
Cost: $15.00 per person
Who: All are welcome.
Where: Victoria Morgan Arts Centre (VMAC)
