Play Positive

A small yet diverse team with a focus on empowering players to find their tribe, Play Positive was founded in 2019 in response to an ad on a Facebook group seeking a GM for a young man with autism. This led our founder Dylan, who had already been studying the positive impacts of D&D in therapy, connecting with the family and running our first ever group. From there, Play Positive grew and continues to seek innovative strategies to support neurodivergent individuals and their families to live their best, most fulfilling lives. We would not be who we are without our trauma-informed approach, which is at the core of our therapeutic sessions. This approach embodies hope and optimism that recovery is possible whilst ensuring our work does not creature further harm. Key components of our sessions include safety, trust, clear boundaries, player empowerment and ongoing choice. With most of our group sessions online, they are accessible Australia wide using Discord.
