# Project Description HUGS GAME Kaiman Zhang Summary Final work Kaiman zhang is a female designer. Her designs are often centred on healing herself, with each piece revolving around a period of trauma for the designer herself, and each piece she creates is a healing session for the designer herself. Topics such as childhood healing, gender issues, and death reconciliation are among them. This project ‘Hugs Game’ is a way for the designer to heal herself as a child and embrace the 8-year-old designer who was crying. It is also hoped that this project will make more families aware of the disease, or give more love to family members through the game. In the future, the project will initially be placed in a psychiatric clinic as an experiment and then, hopefully, it will be set in a psychological clinic as a trial, to ensure that the game can be used as an educational tool. After it's been confirmed that this is feasible, it will be sold as children‘s toys, which will be readily available for purchase. The' Hugs Game aims to make family members more aware of the illness and to give emotional support. In the future, if more families with small children start to pay more attention to children's mental health, they will not feel stigmatized for having mental problems, more people will then be able to get the proper treatment and help.

College London College of Communication Course MA Graphic Media Design Graduation year 2022 Final question: How can Applied games improve children's awareness of the mental illness and their relationships within the family? The 'Hugs Game' project is an applied game in art therapy that uses an offline cooperative card game to teach children aged 6-8 about depression. The principles of 'Hugs Game' are to incorporate knowledge of depression into the game, games that also include intimacy-enhancing talk activities and psychiatrist-recommended mood-relieving actions. The 'Hugs Game' raises children's awareness of the mental illness and their relationships within the family. The number of people suffering from depression has been increasing in recent years, but the consultation rate for this illness is shallow, at only 8%. Therefore, try to use games to advance understanding of the illness and reduce the stigma attached to it to increase consultation rates. Psychologist Carl Rogers says that the self-concept comprises three distinct parts the ideal self, self-image, and self-esteem, and these parts must remain relatively balanced to have a stable self. The spiritual world is inherently fragile, so we need to pay more attention to it instead, we are ashamed of spiritual issues. The audience for 'Hugs Game' are families with children aged 6-8. For children, a melancholy mood can occur as early as age eight, and if they are made aware of it before, they will not feel overwhelmed when they experience it. It is also essential for family members to be aware of depression as many cases of depression are due to damage caused by the family of origin. Making family members more aware of this can provide a better family environment to offer help when appropriate.
