Mental Health Month: Stream Week Schedule

By  Take This · May 19th, 2020 · Announcements, Events, Video Games

*Update* Thank you to all who watched, participated, streamed, and donated during our Week of Streaming! We raised over $3500! These funds will help us continue to respond to the current needs of our community such as ongoing crisis response and pivoting to new online tools. Thank you everyone!

And in case you missed it, you can watch the D&D game Coppers! along with all the content from the Mental Health Games Celebration 2020 on our YouTube channel.


We’re capping off Mental Health Month 2020 with a Week of Streaming! Join us and our friends in building awareness about mental health. We’ll be playing games (both tabletop and video), talking about how mental health is represented in games, and hearing from all sorts of creators and designers. It’s going to be the most positive, thoughtful place to be online during the end of May!

Monday May 25th

A DND Adventure!  5PM PT

To kick off Take This’ Mental Health Month Streaming Week, Take This’ clinical director Doctor B runs a special one-shot D&D game Coppers! – sponsored by Level Up Dice. This motley troop of constables must stop a massive guild war by recovering a stolen object, intended as a gift to seal the peace between two powerful, rival guilds. Featuring Tanya DePass, Chris Gates, Justus Hughes, Kelli the Opera Geek, and Surena Marie.
