Take This clinical director resigns from mental health for game devs nonprofit


Raffael "Dr. B" Boccamazzo, the clinical director of Take This, will leave the nonprofit for gaming mental health at the end of this year.

I can’t commit to all the extra hours required of being a director at a small nonprofit organization while maintaining the focus on my family that they deserve.” Boccamazzo spoke in 2021 in a virtual GamesBeat event on how to avoid burnout as well as a panel on employee mental health in 2022. If you might need a psychologist with a decade of experience working within the game industry on things like burnout, mental health representation in media, content creator mental health, tabletop roleplaying games, crunch culture, and other things, I’ll be around, and I’d love to hear from you.”
