Burnout is a common problem in the game industry today, impacting developers at studios of all sizes, lowering staff productivity and increasing staff turnover and distress.

Addressing systemic causes of burnout may feel insurmountable, but research has found that implementing meaningful change in a few areas can have system-wide impacts. Drawing on the most current research, this workshop will equip developers with the knowledge, skills, and best practices to tackle burnout.

Take This is a mental health advocacy organization with a focus on the game industry and community. We provide resources, training, and support individuals and companies that help the gaming community improve its mental well-being and resilience. The organization addresses the underlying conditions that can create and perpetuate mental health challenges: stigma, harmful studio culture, harassment and toxicity, lack of diversity and accessibility, and problematic game and community design.
