Welcome to the Outreach division!
Gaming can lead to problems in a person’s life and be just as serious as drug, alcohol and gambling. This troubling issue needs to be addressed by our society, just as those addictions have been.
Outreach is the public service division that assists in informing the public of the dangers of excessive game playing. We were formed, 2014, at the request of our recovering members, so they can focus on their singleness of purpose - recovery.
We offer tools for you, so you can reach out and educate and inform your community, school, college, family, parents, church, law-enforecemnt, politicians, professionals, other 12-step grouups, about gaming addiction.
