As a long-time supporter of the gaming community and mental health advocate, I find myself deeply saddened and concerned about the potential closure of Take This. For over a decade, this organization has been an unwavering beacon of hope and support for countless individuals grappling with their mental health. Their efforts have not only provided much-needed resources but also created safe spaces like the AFK Room that have become sanctuaries for many during high-stress events.
The charitable organization Take This, known for its remarkable work in promoting mental health within the gaming community, seems to be facing a critical situation in 2024. A key figure has disclosed that unless Take This can secure funding promptly, the charity may have no choice but to cease operations before the year 2024 concludes.
Dr. Raffael Boccamazzo, who serves as both Clinical Director and Psychologist, detailed the entire scenario across social media platforms and in a blog post published on the charity’s official website.
This piece I crafted for @TakeThisOrg might have been the hardest task I’ve undertaken during my ten-year professional journey – a cause that ignites my passion. Kindly support us as we strive to bring about change!

Dr. Raffael Boccamazzo explained that Take This aims to achieve a specific target in this circumstance. They are planning to gather $80,000 before the end of September, or else they might have to suspend their activities temporarily.
To put it simply, it’s quite unfortunate indeed. Take This, a dedicated organization, has been tireless in its commitment to offering care and support for mental health within the gaming community. They’ve established the tranquil AFK Room at numerous conventions and events, providing attendees with a quiet space to unwind amidst the convention chaos. Moreover, they’ve organized numerous panels and workshops on mental health, and distributed free educational resources to aid those grappling with mental health concerns.
It’s a scary thought to think that Take This could simply go away before 2024 is done. With that in mind, you can support the charity on its website to help out. Stay tuned to our Take This topic for more updates and follow-ups on this story.
