‘The Proximity Effect’ Exhibition

Welcome to the GeekED Conference! Our mission is to explore the dynamic intersection of geek culture and therapeutic practices, pioneering new pathways for mental health professionals to connect with and empower their clients. Founded by a dedicated team of psychologists, therapists, and aficionados of geek culture, our conference seeks to illuminate the profound impact that video games, comics, science fiction, and fantasy can have on therapeutic outcomes. We are committed to advancing evidence-based treatment planning, ethical practices, diverse therapeutic modalities, and informed policy-making in mental health care. By fostering a community of learning, sharing, and innovation, the Geek Culture in Therapy Conference aims to equip professionals with cutting-edge tools and insights that resonate with the unique interests and narratives of their clients. Join us in embracing the transformative potential of geek culture in therapy, where passion meets practice in the pursuit of mental health excellence.

In collaboration with the RIT Women, Gender, and Sexuality Resource Center, Division of Access, Engagement, and Success, COS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team, and NTID, we are excited to invite you to march with RIT in the Rochester Pride Parade this year!

Interpreters have been requested. This training is not available to individuals outside of the RIT community.
