Tantrums are difficult to manage in a two year old and they are difficult AND confusing when they occur in a nine year old. This training will explore various stages of development for children birth-12 years of age. We'll use this information to explore what happens when this development is interrupted, and how to use play therapy to support children in "growing up" into the best versions of themselves. Crystal has developed a Sandcastle Model to assist with understanding how trauma, mental illness, relationships and resiliency, all play a role in a child's development. This model can also be used to educate others, set treatment goals and to design interventions. Participants will learn play-based interventions to address a wide range of symptoms and clinical issues, focused on topics such as feelings identification, coping and social skills.
Please note: If you attended either day of training in the fall with Crystal, this is a combination training of both of those days.
Learning Objectives:
Day 2:
Non-Directive Play Therapy Theories and Techniques
Friday, March 31st at Red Lion River Inn, Spokane
Despite its profound therapeutic value, nondirective play therapy is widely misunderstood by the public and often an intimidating endeavor for play therapists. This workshop will provide a foundation on common theories that drive non-directive play therapy, along with interventions that empower your client to take the lead. Play therapists will leave this workshop with a renewed confidence in their play therapy skills. Graduation or concurrent enrollment in a Master's level psychology program is a pre-requisite for this training.

Day 3:
Collaborating with Caregivers and Navigating the Choppy Waters: Play Therapy with Families
Saturday, April 1st at Red Lion River Inn
"It takes a village to raise a child." But what happens when a child's village is unavailable, due to custody battles, stigma or hectic work schedules? This training is focused on addressing obstacles and building bridges with people involved in the client's life in order to increase the efficacy of play therapy. Special focus will be given to working with caregivers in resistant and conflictual circumstances. Through experiential activities, participants will practice a variety of play-based interventions geared at engaging the caregiver while improving the client's relational skills and resiliency.
