GBWonderful Little Community It’s been so great to have an outlet every week to talk about life, mental health struggles, and anything else with people who are going through something similar and who care. Our guide is really great and always offers a kind perspective. We are a group of 4 usually and it’s just enough time for everyone to share and have the other group member and guide offer advice and support. Also we play cute games together sometimes :)

GBFirst Ever Positive Group Experience This is the first group mental health experience that I have undertaken that has been a true benefit to me and my overall wellbeing. Many tries at traditional group therapy in the past have lead to inevitably giving up and feeling even more demoralized and broken than before, so it is a welcome change and a huge relief to find an experience that is constructive for me and not alienating or uncomfortable to participate in. Our session leader, Sam, is super helpful, respectful, and insightful and does a great job guiding our group through conversations while we are each able to use gaming as a way to not only connect to each other, but also to provide a comforting, stable, and positively diverting base beneath us as we work through sometimes difficult topics or moments of personal processing. I am glad to have learned of Hero Journey Club and to have been brave enough to give it a go!

GBThey kicked me out of their discord bc… They kicked me out of their discord bc I told them I was disabled and couldn't afford every single week. So, they refunded me and basically told me to come back when I can afford it. Do not recommend. Discrimination at its finest. Edit: they don't even deny that they kicked me out for this reason. Actually amazing. Screw yall if you think discrimination is okay and trying to justify it. Bye.

GBGentle coaching in a relaxed atmosphere. The therapist and group that I was assigned to when I joined Hero Journey Club all share similar perspective and experience to me, which makes me feel welcome and heard every time I attend. I have never been one for one-on-one therapy because I find talking about my feelings a little uncomfortable, but it becomes much more bearable with a group to bounce my thoughts off of. Being able to indulge in a bit of gameplay while I unwind makes Hero Journey Club worth it each time.
