Filial Play Therapy in VA - 2 DAY

12 Clock Hours/ 1.2 CEs Training

 Description:

In this workshop you will learn how to teach parents to do Child-Centered Play therapy (CCPT) with their children, which is known as Filial Therapy.  Filial Therapy has a very high effectiveness rate for both improving child behavior and resolving parent-child relationship problems.  It typically has three phases: (1) intake and teaching parents how to do the six primary tasks of child-centered play therapy (2) coaching and supporting parents while they do child-centered play sessions with their children (3) guiding parents to generalize child-centered play strategies to everyday parenting.  This interactive workshop will include lecture and skills training, practice for all three phases of Filial Therapy, and discussion of various contexts and issues that arise in doing Filial.  Prerequisite:  basic knowledge of Child-Centered Play Therapy—you can only teach what you already know.

Learning Objectives:

After attending this workshop participants will be able to:

• Identify parents and children appropriate for Filial Therapy and introduce Filial to them.
• Demonstrate the six core skills of Child-Centered Play Therapy:  following the child’s lead; tracking; handling questions and commands; setting and enforcing limits; empathic responding; and working from within role plays.
•  Coach parent-child play sessions, using strategies proven to be effective to help parents develop a high level of skill quickly.
• Demonstrate use of individual discussions with parents to facilitate appropriate generalization of following the child’s lead, limit setting, and empathy for parenting in everyday life.
• Describe how to use Filial in context of several family relationship problems:  post-divorce, step-family formation, grief, new siblings, and adoptive or foster parent relationships.
•  State how to use Filial in context of several common child behavior problems: anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD.
