This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Calgary organization is testing a new program that uses Dungeons and Dragons and other tabletop role-playing games in a group therapy setting.

D&D has seen a resurgence in popularity, and has been depicted in television shows and movies like Stranger Things and this year's Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

At Simon Fraser University in B.C., David Lindskoog, a registered clinical counsellor, uses D&D in group therapy sessions mostly with students who are experiencing social anxiety.

Megan Ann Connell, a psychologist who uses Dungeons and Dragons as part of her practice and wrote a book on tabletop role-playing therapy, started playing the game in middle school.

Connell, who lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, said she took a long hiatus from the game but fell in love with it again after becoming a trained psychologist.

Connell said that in the early 1980s, there were a number of therapists and school counsellors who started to notice that tabletop role-playing games were helpful to their students and their clients.
