Using your funding at our table
Many of the players at our tables are funded through provincial programmes rather than paying privately. Here is which funding applies to whom — and what we will not claim on your behalf.
Which one applies to you?
Two separate programmes, for two different groups of people.
What you receive for your submission
Paperwork decides whether funding is straightforward or exhausting. You should not have to chase us for any of it.
An itemised invoice
A written description of the sessions
An attendance record
A receipt on every payment
A direct line for your coordinator
A written quote before you commit
Every item is set out in full in the provider information pack, which we will send you.
How it works
OAP — two steps
Passport
Is it therapy?
In the therapy stream, yes. Those sessions are therapy, and they are run by the psychotherapists at Heart & Mind Hub.
With Passport funding, it can be — if you choose. Routed through the same therapy stream, a Passport-funded place is therapy too; Daniel also runs regular, non-therapeutic games for adults who use Passport funding directly.
Daniel's part is support. As an Executive Function & Social Skills Coach, he follows the therapeutic goals set for each person and works with the psychotherapist to support them at the table.
Tabletop roleplaying lends itself to this work. Players explore thoughts, feelings and challenges safely through a character, build confidence and social skills, practise negotiation, and make mistakes in a safe place that can be reflected on afterwards.
The games Daniel runs on his own, outside the therapy stream, are not therapy.
What we do not claim
We would rather you heard this from us than found out at claim time.
- We cannot tell you whether your funding will approve a claim. Your coordinator decides that. Anyone who promises otherwise is guessing.
- We do not submit claims for you and we are not a payment agent. You pay us and claim it back the way your programme works.
Who is running the sessions
Daniel Rocha runs the games. He completed the Executive Function & Social Skills Coach Program through Heart & Mind Hub.
In the therapy stream — OAP, and Passport or private health insurance where the therapeutic version is what you want — a psychotherapist from Heart & Mind Hub leads the session and holds the therapeutic goals. Daniel works with them: he runs the game, and coaches the executive-function and social-skills work inside it.
In every other session Daniel is on his own, and the game is recreational rather than therapeutic. Which one you are booking is worth being clear about before any money moves.
Funding questions, answered
We work with Heart & Mind Hub, who are happy to talk with you about using your funding — OAP, Passport, or private health insurance — toward therapeutic tabletop roleplaying with Roll with Guidance. For non-therapeutic games, adults may use Passport funding directly with us.
That is a question for Heart & Mind Hub, and they are happy to have it. They can talk through OAP, Passport and private health insurance for therapeutic D&D or Daggerheart run with Roll with Guidance. Tell us and we will make the introduction.
It depends which stream you are in. Our OAP sessions are therapy, and a psychotherapist from Heart & Mind Hub leads them — Daniel runs the game and coaches the executive-function and social-skills work alongside them. Every other session is Daniel on his own, running a recreational game. He completed the Executive Function & Social Skills Coach Program through Heart & Mind Hub.
Then nothing is booked and you owe us nothing. That is why the coordinator conversation happens before the booking rather than after it.
Start with a question, not a booking
Tell us who the player is and which funding you hold. We will point you to the right next step — Heart & Mind Hub for the therapy stream, or straight to us for Passport-funded games.
