Create an addictive game by learning about the techniques companies use to create addiction in players.
Our teachers have worked in the addictions field for over 20 years and worked with teenagers for longer than that. This is a course that is aimed at a younger demographic and has been adjusted for this age group. Les Pauling created and ran a prison addictions program for over 15 years that was acclaimed as one of the best programs in the country. He has his masters in guidance counseling.

This class is educational and not a replacement for counseling or therapy. This class is to help students identify the tricks that companies use to create addiction and to recognize those things when they encounter them in everyday life. This class many students do not WANT to take and we have found that students may log in for 2-5 minutes and log off telling parents "It was boring." We have students who game during class. These are classic defensive behaviors, and while they are expected to some degree, we can not force your student to participate. No refunds will be given for a student who leaves early. Students who share inappropriate things during their presentations may be removed from class if redirection doesn't work. No refunds will be given for inappropriate behavior.
