A three-part online series for parents and teens.

Raising children and teens in a world shaped by screens and video games can feel overwhelming. Many parents sense that gaming plays a powerful role in their child’s emotional life, relationships, and habits and might be looking for ways to respond with confidence.

The Parenting in the Age of Gaming series is a three-part online program designed to help families better understand what is really happening beneath the surface of gaming. This series brings together expert voices to explore how gaming affects the developing heart, mind, and spirit of a child or teen, while also recognizing the very real challenges parents face in today’s digital home. It addresses gaming honestly, including its potential for addiction, while offering a hopeful and practical path forward grounded in relationship, formation, and grace.

Each evening includes a focused presentation followed by a live, moderated Q&amp;A, creating a warm and supportive environment where parents can ask questions and learn from both the speakers and one another.

The series unfolds over three evenings:

Part I – Understanding Gaming from a Total Person Perspective
Anne Marie Posella helps parents understand how video games can affect a child's behavioral, psychological, and spiritual development, and why they can become so compelling.

Part II – One More Level: Understanding Gaming and Parenting
Elaine Uskoski, a video gaming addiction speaker, author, and coach, explores how parents can respond with clarity, compassion, and leadership in their homes.

Part III – Ask the Experts
An open forum where parents can bring their real questions and experiences to local mental wellness professionals for practical insight and guidance.

This series is designed for both moms and dads, with teens also welcome to attend. Sessions are held live on Zoom from 8:00 to 9:30 pm and are not recorded, which helps foster open and honest conversation. One registration provides access to all three evenings.

Parents do not have to navigate this challenge alone. With the right understanding, strong relationships, and the support of grace, families can grow stronger even in the midst of today’s digital pressures.

Speakers
Elaine Uskoski

In 2014, Elaine Uskoski faced one of the most challenging moments of her life when she discovered that her youngest son, Jake, was struggling with a video gaming addiction. Recognizing the severity of the situation, she immediately paused everything to focus on helping him. At the time, there was little understanding of this type of addiction, so Elaine dedicated herself to researching and learning everything she could to support her son. She combined her knowledge with over 20 years of experience in social services and health and wellness to create a path to recovery.

Through unwavering dedication, patience, and a holistic approach, Elaine was able to guide Jake back to physical and emotional well-being.

Elaine shared her journey in her first book, Seeing Through the Cracks, and now uses her story to inspire and inform others. As a coach for parents and families, as well as a public speaker, she spreads a message of hope and awareness. Her second book, Cyber Sober: A Caregiver’s Guide to Video Gaming Addiction, has also been published to further support families dealing with this growing concern.

Elaine is a Clinical Partnership Specialist for Intenta Clinical Training for Gaming Disorder in Canada and has been featured in prominent media outlets such as CTV W5, CBC’s The National, Maclean's magazine, CHCH TV, Global News, National Geographic, The Wall Street Journal, and CBC Radio.

A respected international speaker, Elaine has shared her insights in Busan, Korea, London, UK, and contributed to two European documentaries. In April 2025, she was honored with the Silver 2025 Women Changing The World (WCW) Leadership Award for Therapy &amp; Counselling.
