Chris Millagin works for the Department of Human Services as a Support Worker. He is also a professional airbrush artist with murals across Melbourne, and is an actor who has appeared on national television in programs and advertisements. He is an award-winning and convention-title winning gamer, specialising in Warhammer 40k and other tabletop and miniature games. He has competed interstate and overseas.
Chris has facilitated game sessions with children on the spectrum and their family members, creating positive, memorable situations for all concerned. One of his biggest Game Therapy inspirations came when witnessing a gaming friend competing in a tournament against a guy born without arms. This player used his feet to move game pieces across the board.
With a long experience of the social aspects of gaming, Chris understands the value of community integration. Preventing social isolation and facilitating level playing fields in niche communities are two of Chris’s passions in the healthcare sector. In this regard, Chris has built networks and friendships with game shops and game clubs across Melbourne.
Chris has an extensive knowledge of gaming and model making techniques and has trained other Game Therapists in these specialties.
