Releasing OUTrage™ Game Everywhere

PHOENIX - July 9, 2015 - PRLog -- OUTrage™, an interactive board game has just been released (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/outrage). Developed by Stephanie Angelo and Carl Mangold, OUTrage™ was created with the intent of allowing participants to visualize domestic violence from an insider’s perspective.

While OUTrage™ resembles an ordinary board game with dice and question cards; that is where the similarities end. This game asks tough, thought provoking and necessary questions to produce gut level comprehension of how domestic violence offender’s behavior affects those around them. It also places participants in a position to grasp how it feels on the receiving end of abuse.

OUTrage™ was designed to be used by Therapists, Social Workers, Counselors, Offender Treatment Group Facilitators, Domestic Violence Shelters, families, and schools for 5^th grade on up.

Mangold and Angelo portray the board game OUTrage™ as an “experiential learning tool” that when added to existing treatment programs, has the potential to provide understanding of subtle clues and behaviors. Some of the benefits of incorporating OUTrage as one segment of the integral curriculum in domestic violence offender treatment programs would include first, creating teams and developing interaction within the framework of guided compassion. Next, the differing thoughts, feelings and experiences incorporated among those involved in the groups would offer a broader view and understanding of the topics being addressed. Lastly, feelings and emotions are incorporated into the rehabilitation dynamic.

Factoring in the multitude of elements that comprise the human experience, and utilizing all available tools to effect change, can be the harbinger of the intended goal of developing the board game, OUTrage, which is to reduce recidivism of domestic violence offenders.
