Taking place on Zoom and priced at only £15, Dom will host this ‘in conversation with’ event, with expert special guest Cam Adair.

All questions will be anonymised for the webinar and the question submission form will close 48 hours before the event (12.30pm, 11th May).

About the event

Online gaming is something many parents worry about, not least because it can feel relatively unknown and separate from their own lives.

Parents worry about the types of games, the violence, the amount of time spent online and on a sofa, and the risks of strangers interacting with their children. Cam Adair is a world learning expert on gaming, and will be in conversation with Dom to discuss all these topics and more. 

Ask your questions, hear Cam's top tips and get the information and reassurance you need during this hour long webinar.

Parents and carers will gain really useful practical information and advice about approaching difficult situations involving young people's emotional health issues.
