About the training:
Play Therapy Basic Training 1
July 15, 2013
9:00am – 3:00pm (registration begins at 8:30)
Mental health and educational professionals who work with children can
significantly benefit from training in play therapy. The most basic skills in play therapy can improve rapport and subsequently relationships with children (professional AND personal). In this workshop participants will learn basic play therapy skills to engage children (from infancy through the elementary grades) in play therapy. Developmental and cultural issues relevant with this population will be addressed and many practical and dynamic interventions will be demonstrated. By the end of the workshop participants will be able to: 1.) Identify three ways to
use play therapy with children; 2.) Have experience and replicate play therapy techniques suitable for children; 3.) Use beginning play therapy skills to address the developmental and emotional needs of children.
Play Therapy Basic Training 2
July 16, 2013
9:00am – 3:00pm (registration begins at 8:30)
Mental health and educational professionals who have attended Play Therapy Basic Training 1 or have initial training in Child-Centered Play Therapy can significantly benefit from this seminar. In this workshop, participants will review play therapy to further their knowledge and skills. Advanced skills training through role-plays and practice exercises will be included to increase experience and knowledge on play
therapy. Participants will also have the opportunity to reflect on their previous training and ask questions. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to: 1.) Better understand the child-centered play therapy process and have first-hand experience through role plays and practice; 2.) Identify key themes that may present themselves in a child’s play and understand their significance; 3.) Develop strategies
for approaching common play therapy issues.
