What is it about?
In this paper, we chart the development of a game-based training tool for counsellors in the UK to help develop and assess risk-assessment skills. This paper focuses on the development of the game in conjunction with potential end-users and an initial evaluation of the game as a tool for improving self-efficacy and confidence in risk-assessment skills.
