Video Gaming Addiction

Let me introduce you to Elaine.


Elaine Uskoski is a Speaker, Author and Online Coach for Video Gaming Addiction Awareness.

Several years ago, Elaine Uskoski faced one of the biggest crisis of her life
when she learned her youngest son Jake was addicted to video gaming.
She put everything on hold to deal with the magnitude and seriousness of
his obsession. At the time, there was little known about this type of
addiction and Elaine found herself focusing all her energy on research,
learning everything she could so she could help her son. She married this
insight with her 20 years’ experience in social service work and health and
wellness. With knowledge, patience and perseverance Elaine was able to
successfully help Jake regain his physical and emotional health.
She chronicled her experiences in her second book “Cyber Sober; A Caregiver's Guide to Video Gaming Addiction“ and now shares her powerful message of hope and awareness through her
work as a coach for parents and speaker.
Elaine has been featured by many media outlets including CTV W5, CBC’s The
National, CHCH TV, The Wall Street Journal, and CBC Radio
