Why Choose the Therapeutic Game Master Program?
The Therapeutic Game Master Program advances Refined’s commitment to equipping therapists, educators, and other professionals with the knowledge and skills to integrate fandom, tabletop roleplaying games, video games, and popular culture into ethical, culturally responsive, and clinically intentional practice.
Across this nine-week advanced training, participants complete 36 continuing education hours through asynchronous coursework and live, application-based learning. Participants examine evidence-based theory, biopsychosocial assessment, treatment planning, group dynamics, documentation, and intervention design while applying Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and psychodrama across multiple TTRPG systems.
Grounded in APA and NBCC continuing education standards, the program moves beyond teaching participants how to run a game. It develops the clinical judgment, cultural competence, ethical awareness, and creative confidence needed to transform collaborative storytelling into purposeful interventions aligned with participant needs and measurable therapeutic goals.
