Destiny is a cooperative gameplay mode featured in the popular online multiplayer first-person shooter game, Destiny 2. This mode allows players to team up with friends or other players to complete various missions, raids, and challenges.
The cooperative nature of Destiny fosters teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills, which can be highly beneficial in a counseling context. Engaging in cooperative gameplay can help individuals develop trust, improve their ability to work collaboratively, and enhance their social skills.
Additionally, the shared experiences and accomplishments in the game can create a sense of community and support among players, contributing positively to their mental well-being and providing a healthy outlet for stress and anxiety.
