Self-Help and Self-Care Games
A 31 Day Reading Challenge to Understand The Types of Gameful Experiences These Represent and How to Design, Develop, and Play Them

Self-Help and Self-Care Games helps boost your awareness of self-help and self-care through games. A fun, thirty-one day challenge introduces the foundational aspects of games and their design elements while showing how playing games can help us in our personal lives and wellness.  Self-help and self-care games coach and consultant Victoria Ichizli-Bartels emphasizes the importance of taking good care of themselves. But rather than simply adding to the often-confusing elements of traditional self-care, self-compassion, self-help, self-love, and self-support, she offers a new way to think about taking care of yourself: gaming and gamification.Instead, Self-Help and Self-Care Games provides a month of reading challenges, games, to provide a unique approach to self-care. Through a series of thirty-one short articles of no more than 500 words, Ichizli-Bartels has created a gameful and enjoyable way of thinking about self-help. After completing the “game” at the end of the challenge, you will understand which gameful experiences self-help and self-care align with and how you can design, develop, and play them as the most fun and engaging games for yourself.Looking after yourself does not need to be stressful or a chore. Take the challenge. Learn how to care for yourself and how to create your own games to boost your self-esteem, confidence, and overall mental health.
