Setting Yourself Up for Healthy Success
If your gaming has taken over and is causing harm, you might decide to quit totally, or cut back and make some serious changes to reduce that harm.
The good news is that young brains are always developing and changing, so exploring new experiences and connecting with the real world around you can set you up for healthy success.
Here's a few ways you can get on a healthier path...
Talk to Someone
Talk to family, friends, a counsellor or a health care provider about your gaming and how you are feeling.
24/7 Support Available
Help is available 24/7 at the PEI Gaming and Gambling Support Line by calling 1-855-255-4255.
Set Limits & Priorities
Set limits and priorities before gaming, like playtime and purchase limits. Ask a loved one to help you make a plan to stick to them.
Device-Free Bedrooms
Turn off your devices at night and keep them out of your bedroom. Set up your gaming in a family space so you are not playing alone, and loved ones can check in on you.
Break Things Up & Get Moving
Get offline, get physical, and try other healthy activities you love.
Focus on Self-Care
Prioritize self-care like eating healthy, hygiene, and good sleep.
Remember to Keep It Fun
...and when it stops being fun, it's time to take a break.
