This period is both unique and challenging. In the U.S., young adults report rates of anxiety and depression at 36%, which is twice that of teens and significantly higher than other age groups. During this time, it is common to experience feelings of lack of purpose and other mental challenges. If these challenges are not addressed effectively, they can lead to emotional, cognitive, and behavioral crises. This presents an opportunity to explore educational interventions and preventive measures for this critical issue. This study investigates how young adults\u0027 personal traits, experiences, and external stressors collectively impact their mental well-being during major life transitions. Through a user-centered research approach, this study proposes an innovative educational card game designed to teach coping strategies, foster communication, and encourage self-reflection among young adults. The game experience combines relatable narratives, engaging game mechanics, and balanced educational elements to provide both an enjoyable and meaningful learning opportunity.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECoping Through Play: Designing Gamified Educational Experiences to Support Young Adults\u0027 Mental Well-Being And Life Transitions\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Coping Through Play: Designing Gamified Educational Experiences to Support Young Adults\u0027 Mental Well-Being And Life Transitions"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2024-11-06 19:09:26","changed_gmt":"2024-11-06 19:11:09","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-11-22T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2024-11-22T17:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-11-22T17:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-11-22 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2024-11-22 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-11-22 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"West Architecture -Room 155 ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
