    Welcome to Episode One of Skill Check. A podcast about Gaming and Mental Health from YMCA Exeter.

    In this weeks episode we are allowing ourselves to be drawn into the beautiful water coloured world of "Child of Light", and finding a story of grief hidden just underneath its fairy tale surface. We go onto talk grief, what is it, and a little bit of how it may work. 

    We also take a moment to look at what the new XBox may have in store for us all.
