Online Communities and Gaming

June 26, 2025 • Cognitive & Behavioral Health Center of Charleston • Season 2 • Episode 6

How are online spaces shaping the mental health of boys and young men?

In Part Two of this conversation, Drs. Cindy Carter, Jeannine Monnier, and Josh Chinitz explore the rise of online gaming and digital communities—how they can offer connection, but also become a substitute for real-life interaction and development.

We break down the difference between online support and avoidance—and why it matters.
