The Self-Esteem Game

Monday July 14, 2003
The Self-Esteem Game, a board game designed by a psychologist from South Bend, Indiana, will be published for the 2004 holiday season by Patch Products, according to this article in the South Bend Tribune.

More than 20,000 self-published copies of The Self-Esteem Game, designed by Michael Sheehan, have been sold over the last two decades. The game's goal "is to introduce children to the idea of self-esteem, that liking themselves is a positive thing," Sheehan said. Frankly, it's always a great idea to help boost children's self-esteem -- but I wonder how good the actual game will be.

I am a social worker and have an idea for a psychsocial educational game in the form of a board game. I have a prototype designed. I am not sure what to do next. I need help for finding tokens and boxes etc. Also mass production and agencies that publish on a large scale. This is particulary geared toward the recovery community. Got any ideas to help me proceed.
Thanks Robyn
