We are delighted to be able to offer CBT to children and teens ages 9 to 17 using Pesky gNATS, winner of the 2014 SPARKie award. Developed by Temple St. Principal Clinical Psychologist Dr. Gary O' Reilly, UCD School of Psychology, the game is played by the child and therapist together in session. Each of the seven levels is equivalent to a therapy session. In each the player is trained in concepts and skills essential to their mental and emotional health through conversation, embedded animations, videos and questions, tasks and games.
The game partners with a mobile app on iPhone and Android designed to help the young person to apply the CBT ideas they learn in therapist assisted sessions to their everyday life at home, at school and in their community. It includes weekly CBT tasks, mindfulness and relaxation skills. Pesky gNATS has been designed to target the anxiety and depression disorders young people commonly experience. The game and App is provided in therapy at no extra charge.
