University of Cambridge research project: Bridging the ChASM: Creating Accessible Services using Minecraft
Image source: Minecraft
I've teamed up with Monique Beckett and the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge to explore the use of Minecraft in counselling.
Together, we've launched the ‘Bridging the ChASM’ project to showcase Minecraft as a powerful therapeutic tool.
With support from Dr Fiona Peacock and Dr Ros McLellan within the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, we secured funding and created two films demonstrating how Minecraft can make counselling engaging and accessible. These films feature example sessions with children, a young person, a group, and a family.
This project has been a labour of love over many hours and months. We're proud to make these films freely available online - help us spread the word by sharing them with others!
