[[File:Therapeutic Gaming & Technology WikiHeader.png|alt=Game controller bursting out of a heart rate monitor|thumb|903x903px|Therapeutic Gaming]]

This Wiki is intended as a repository and knowledge base for using games and technology in a therapeutic way. It's hosted by [https://childsplaycharity.org Child's Play Charity] which has a focus on gaming programs within children's hospitals, so many of these applications and resources are most useful to hospitals and their employees. That being said, many of the tools and materials found here could be used in other kinds of organizations, even individuals in their daily lives. All that find the Wiki contents helpful are welcome.
