Description
Geek Therapy is part of the wonderful world of helping professionals integrating Geek culture into their work, often referred to as Therapeutic and Applied Geek and Gaming (TAGG). Think psychologists using comic books, social skills group using D&D, recreational therapists using anime, or teachers using video games to teach history. The term Geek Therapy was coined by Josué Cardona in 2011 and refers to a specific model of integrating Geek culture into practice. Since 2011, Geek Therapy has grown from a website celebrating how to use Geek culture for good to becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2020. We advocate for the effective and meaningful use of popular media in therapeutic, educational, and community practice. We provide education and resources so helping professionals, educators, and community leaders can better understand the communities they serve, through media that matters. https://www.geektherapy.org
