Healthy Gaming program tells how to score better
Umina campus of Brisbane Water Secondary College is offering a Healthy Gaming program to its students.
The hour-long program is delivered by Regional Youth Support Services and takes a "harm minimisation approach".
It aims to show young people that their gaming performance can be improved if they take care of their physical and mental health.
"Video gaming can cause harm it if is taken to extreme levels and can have negative impacts on mental and physical health," said teacher Ms Jessie Heighington.
"Healthy Gaming educates young people on how to get back in control of their hobby.
"It also focuses on trending issues around cyber safety and gaming culture."
