Build & Balance: Minecraft Education Group Therapy

Build & Balance is an online therapeutic skills group for teens ages 14–18 navigating anxiety, depression, mood changes, or social stress. This therapist-led group uses Minecraft Education as a structured tool to help participants practice coping skills, emotional regulation, problem-solving, and communication in real time. Sessions combine guided gameplay with reflection and discussion, making it a supportive option for teens who may find traditional talk therapy challenging. The group is strengths-based, neurodivergent-affirming, and focused on building skills teens can use in everyday life.
