In a unique fusion of therapy and recreation, The Telos Project holds Dungeons and Dragons therapy groups facilitated by Certified Therapeutic Game Masters. By immersing participants in a world of fantasy and adventure, these groups offer individuals with mental health conditions a safe space to explore and express emotions, build social skills, and foster meaningful connections through teamwork and communication. We currently have two groups, and the demand is high for a third. Unfortunately, insurance and Medicaid coverage is extremely limited for group therapy and we are unable to cover the cost of the clinician, the space utilized, and the administrative work necessary to continue these groups let alone start a new one. The groups we currently run are being run at an annual loss. The groups are extremely valuable for adolescents and adults learning to cope with symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Communication and Processing disorders, and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.
