The usual odds and ends from online sources:
-- An old, official D&D podcast about using the game as a social skills teaching tool for children with autism-spectrum disorder: http://dnd.wizards.com/play-events/podcasts-livestream-games/dr-raffael-boccamazzo-dd-and-autism
. . . which led to an article about D&D as therapy (with what may be our own Hawke Robinson in the comments?): http://geekandsundry.com/dungeons-dragons-as-therapy/
. . . has now into a video discussion of tabletop gaming being generally good for mental health: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd0Xb_jWHg8
A piece on making women feel welcome in convention gaming spaces: http://www.bluestockings.ca/2016/10/playing-safe-making-women-welcome.html
If you're not familiar with the X-card referred to in that piece, here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SB0jsx34bWHZWbnNIVVuMjhDkrdFGo1_hSC2BWPlI3A/edit?usp=sharing
And for a feel-good finale, here's a report on an older group (including a couple in their 70s) playing D&D for the first time and loving it: http://www.tabletopterrors.com/single-post/2016/10/17/70-Year-Olds-Play-DD-for-the-First-Time-and-Love-it
