In today’s always-online gaming world, it can be incredibly hard to switch off. Live multiplayer games, tournaments, daily quests, ranked ladders, events, patches, Discord, streams and constant notifications are designed to keep you logged in. For many gamers, the cost isn’t just time but also the health consequences that can come with excessive gaming, including heightened anxiety, low mood, reduced focus, poor sleep, weight gain, declining performance at work or study and fewer meaningful offline connections.
This course is designed specifically for gamers (adults and young people 16+) whose gaming habits may be affecting their mental or physical health, sleep, focus or relationships. It’s for players who enjoy gaming but feel stuck in long sessions, late nights or “just one more game” cycles, and who want to regain balance without giving up gaming altogether.
The Screen Sense Pro Course is a transformative online course designed to help you regain control over your screen use and refocus on what truly matters. Delivered across six interelated tracks, it provides the knowledge, tools and support needed to develop healthier and more intentional digital habits.
Created by Neal Thompson, a Digital Psychology Specialist and former professional gamer known as “Mirage,” this course blends lived experience with academic expertise (MSc Health Psychology). Neal understands the pull of problematic digital use first-hand and how to change it. This course is designed to turn insight into practical action.
"With Screen Sense, you learn to handle technology like a race car - precise, deliberate and under your control."
