The games have primarily been used by the team at Galileo House (our child/youth centre). We have had young children, parents and carers, as well as SASS staff, trial the games — all have been amazed at the effects. I originally installed the games and was the first to trial the fish game in Particle Editor.

Initially I got the fish only to the edge of the screen, but eventually had them all swimming across and the music playing. Then someone came into the room and mentioned a recent event to me that I didn’t think had really affected me that much, but when the issue was raised, all the fish sunk to the bottom of the screen and the music stopped!! It was a great visual to attach to my feelings about a particular issue and realise the hidden effects of stress/trauma.
