Navigating Psychiatric Care With a Journaling TTRPG: "Welcome to the Euthymia College of Magicks"

"We developed a Journaling RPG/Workbook that weaves the narrative of being a student in a college of magic navigating the complexities of psychiatric care. The intervention consists of printable journaling exercises that form the basis of a personalized mental health grimoire.
We believe that through fantasy-inspired introspection we can help in: (a) Building therapeutic alliance (b) Reducing stigma about psychiatric medication (c) Increase medication adherence (d) Help patients keep track of their symptoms and side effects throughout their psychiatric care (e) Empower patients to become more active in their discussions with their psychiatrist
The College of Euthymia is built upon the hermetic principles, “As above, So below”. Meaning that the more we understand ourselves and our bodies, the more we can unravel the mysteries of the universe and unlock our magical source.
We will end with a call for party members as we want to expand beyond the field of psychiatry and include as many diverse fields in the construction of the College of Euthymia. We would like to expand our Grimoire of introspective Journaling RPG modules using as many different perspectives as possible. "
