Taking Play Therapy Outdoors: Archery, Tape Art, Yoga, Labyrihtn Walk & More! - Beginner
If play is a child’s natural language where toys are the words, outdoors play seems to be the natural place for play to occur. With changes in our society due to technology and other factors, children are increasingly becoming resistant to outdoor play.
During our PLAY THERAPY BOOT CAMP series, participants will learn about the IPA, an international advocacy group which promotes play opportunities for children as a basis for outdoor play. At this exciting training, we have designed directive outdoor techniques to incorporate into your play therapy practice to help children heal in their natural play environment. Through the lens of play therapy, a number of interventions such as Equine Assisted Therapeutic Activities, Yoga, Archery, Labyrinth Walk, Tape Art, and outdoor sandtray will be incorporated in this innovative experience as well as movement and sensory oriented techniques. The purpose is to help children develop social skills, empathy, self-regulation, increase self-awareness through nature, and to have good old-fashioned fun and breath fresh air!
This workshop is designed for:
Social workers (LCSW, LMSW, LISW, BSW, AAW), psychologists (Ph.D., Psy.D., Ed.D.) school counselors, school psychologist, professional counselors (LMHC, LCMHC, CMHC, LPC, LCPC), marriage and family therapists (LMFT, LIMFT) art therapists, play therapists, occupational therapists, graduate students, and others in the mental health-related field. This is a beginner level seminar which means that no previous experience is needed in order to participate.
