Create a Support Line for Video Game Addiction

Video Game Addiction has spiked over the pandemic, with problematic gaming reaching over 13% of gamers in some groups, such as among students.

A peer-support line would help those affected get validation, learn more, and take positive steps.

Why is this important?

Better access to support for Game Addiction doesn't just help the person, but it helps their community.

A proactive approach also reduces the cost to the NHS of expensive treatments and therapies needed for follow-on mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and attempted suicide.
