Raising AVIGALO
For caregivers, families, and professionals walking the complex road of care, find your anchor here.
We see you, AVIGALOs—youth immersed in video games, searching for belonging, and navigating a world that often misunderstands you. We also see your families, walking a difficult journey alongside you. Raising AVIGALO™ is a community-rooted initiative to:
For youth, families, and communities.
Restoring Balance. Reclaiming Identity. A Bloom Movement.
Raising AVIGALO is about more than video games. It’s about wholeness. It’s about teaching youth, families, and communities to see value differently — to honor unseen contributions and to imagine new futures. We are planting seeds of dignity and purpose. From buried roots to blooming lives, we believe every VIGALO carries the potential to flourish — not in spite of their gaming, but alongside it.
Raising AVIGALO was born from a reframe: what if the “lazy gamer” isn’t lazy at all, but a person caught between potential and pause? AVIGALO stands for A VIdeo GAme LOving person. Some VIGALOs carry hidden burdens, some get stuck, some shine at home in unseen ways. Through our healing-centered approach and the Bloom Unbound Guided Journals, we help families move from survival to wholeness — supporting VIGALOs in reclaiming their identity and channeling their skills toward community, leadership, and purpose.
The Raising AVIGALO initiative began as a response to a growing concern: the isolation and misunderstanding of young people whose lives are deeply connected to gaming. Society often labels them negatively, overlooking the creativity, strategy, focus, and persistence that gaming nurtures. AVIGALO challenges this stigma by reframing gamers as whole people with untapped potential.
We believe every VIGALO has a story worth telling. Some stay at home carrying invisible caregiving responsibilities, others find solace in digital worlds while managing personal struggles, and many simply have yet to discover how their love for gaming can translate into life skills and leadership. Through our programs, workshops, and Bloom Journals, we work alongside families and communities to unlock these hidden strengths.
Raising AVIGALO is not just about individuals — it’s about a cultural shift. By honoring unseen contributions, reframing failure as pause, and planting seeds of resilience, we are building a global Bloom Movement where no VIGALO is dismissed, forgotten, or underestimated.
Our healing journey tools help families and VIGALOs move from survival to significance. With guided reflections, affirmations, and creative exercises, the Bloom Journals provide a safe path to rediscovery and wholeness.
This is more than a project — it’s a movement. Raising AVIGALO is building spaces where families, youth, and communities come together to reframe, restore, and rise.
