Testimonials
“This game is ingenious. Truly inspired. One of the most surprisingly, fun and thoughtful ways to find within yourself, the strength and courage to find out who you are among a group while learning who they are as well. In many ways I found that this game helped me tremendously more than multiples of other groups I've done. To put it into perspective this isn't just a game it is a unique tool that can help you cope with life's pressures. It's a must have.”
-Michael Clark (patient in residential treatment)
“We have been using the board game within our peer support led mental health groups for quite some time now, and the youth we work with absolutely love it. They are incredibly invested, and love answering the questions. As an example, the last co-ed support group that we had, all of the attendees designed their own game piece with paper and markers, and they were incredibly interested and engaged in the game and the questions provided. We noticed that the youth we support love the red color questions, because they are incredibly deep and provide a lot of in-depth responses and personal and intimate shares from their experiences throughout life. It also gives the individuals an opportunity to express themselves authentically, and to truly share what is truly deep within their heart.”
-Emily Pope, Youth Outreach Coordinator at Here Tomorrow
“The game has been great for getting all clients engaged. The questions target vulnerable and important areas in a non-evasive way, which has helped create meaningful discussion and reflection during groups. Clients reported having fun while also gaining insight into where they are in their recovery journey.”

“The Pieces of You game Classroom Edition has been a tremendous tool for the youth in the MBKCares Checkmate and Clubhouse mentorship programs. Our youth range from ages 8-18 years old and they absolutely love the game. Pieces of You provides space and structure for transparent conversations. Through the game, our youth have been able to learn about one another while also looking within. It's a beautiful game and the experiences shared are priceless.”

“This game was so fun! I would recommend this class to anyone who would like to be more connected with their peers. I really felt connected to the people around me. It helped me to open up and express myself and feel a part of. This experience was probably the best group I've done since starting my journey to recovery.”
