I'm not very experienced with Facebook games ... the thought of them generally makes me want to scream with all those friend requests. So, how about we come up with one of our own? Something like FarmVille, but maybe we could call it
PsychopharmVille!
For you out there in the know about FB games, what do you think it would look like?

No idea although I'm on facebook never once have I played the games. Wait maybe in the beginning of joining I did play gemblitz? Or something like this. I ignore the game requests. I've heard some even cost money? Phillipa

I can see it now:
"your friend JimminyCricket12 has sent you a PsychopharmVille request: a prescription for a one month supply of Thorazine!"

I think I'd call it MENTAL HEALTH VILLE. For each level a person would have to learn about a new mental illness, learn about it, learn how to treat it, and try out treatments on various 'patients' which would be characters already in the game. The player would have to understand the difference between a crisis and a typical day for their client. As they level up, give them a new 'degree.' Start them off as students, once they graduate they could go into placement somewhere, once their placement ends they could be Peer Support Workers, and slowly climb the ladder of Mental Health type workers. :) I kind of like the idea of this kind of game, because not only would it be fun, but it would be raising awareness about the various kinds of mental health issues and hopefully diminish some of the stigma that still surrounds the mental health field. Hope that helps.

> SheriActually, yes it does. That was a very positive twist on a flip, sarcastic start. I'd say I've been around this game too long not to be sarcastic, but it's been very recent events that bring the need for sarcasm quite literally home.
So thanks for the positive twist, Sheri!
