Divorce can be emotionally devastating for children, but a PC game created by a longtime family therapist may help ease the pain.
Earthquake in Zipland is the creation of Chaya Harash, who has spent the last 25 years counseling families. She says that the game is the “first research-based psychological computer game designed to help children deal indirectly with divorce and separation.”
A press release describes how Earthquake in Zipland works:
Earthquake in Zipland is meant to be used by both kids and the parents as well as therapists and support groups.

The game takes the child on a metaphorical adventure full of colorful characters and challenging tasks, while dealing indirectly with a number of important issues surrounding divorce and separation; issues such as anger, guilt, loyalty conflicts, the fantasy to reunite the divorced parents and other emotional effects of divorce on children.
