Mission and programs · 2023

• Advocacy & Thought LeadershipTake This serves our community through our website, our expert panels, our streaming Ambassador Program, and our Discord. TakeThis.org provides accurate, relevant mental health information as well as expert advice and research from clinicians. The website features links to our videos, articles, and other partnerships important to the community. Our expert panels provide mental health awareness and knowledge at events where there is an intersection of industry and community. Take This Ambassadors fight stigma against mental health challenges and promote mental health inclusivity in the streaming community. They build stigma-free spaces and act as examples for their viewers and exemplify hope, acceptance, kindness, self-care, and effort. Finally, the Take This Community Discord provides a supportive, positive, playful community. One of the most important keys to building your own resilience is finding support among friends. Our Discord community is designed to be that resource.

  Expenses $200,066

• Industry Consulting & WorkshopsThrough workshops and consulting engagements, we provide a culturally-informed approach to employee wellness & success for the game industry, addressing resilience and wellness, leadership and management through crisis, diversity, equity, and inclusion, community mental health, game content and design. We have partnered with Feminist Frequency to create the Culture Shift Project, a comprehensive approach to addressing gender-based harm in the game industry.

• ResearchTake This conducts game-informed, culturally competent, independent and partnership research projects on hate speech & online harassment in games, problematic play (game addiction) and other aspects of games. Take This strives to produce high-quality, novel research that addresses some of the greatest questions and challenges faced by those who play and make games, and to advance our understanding of how games can provide social benefit and become safer and more enjoyable spaces.

  Expenses $191,279

• AFK ProgramThe AFK Room Program is our most public and longstanding service to the game community at conventions and expos, both in-person and online. More than a quiet space, the Take This AFK room and Discord server is a staffed, relaxed space for anyone who feels overwhelmed and needs a place to regain their calm. It is run by trained volunteers and clinicians, who offer education, resources, and a listening ear to convention attendees without providing therapeutictreatment.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
