The Lunchbox Interview: Matt Maclean (Improv & Gaming for Mental Health)

Posted on 2018-01-19 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Perhaps one of the greatest things to learn from improv is that we’re all just making it up as we go along anyway.

My guest today is Matt Maclean, UNB’s Mental Health Strategist. He returns to give an update on the ongoing programs he’s implemented to help support students with their mental health well-being, including the peer support centre and board game nights. We also talk about two newer initiatives: the use of roleplaying games (specifically D&D) in helping people confront and overcome issues they have in real life, and the use of improv to improve reactions to social anxiety.
