 Description:

During this session, participants will be introduced to the entire play therapy process from start to finish, including how to make skilled responses, identifying therapeutic themes and issues, tracking progress, setting limits, responding to questions and making decisions about termination of sessions.  Additionally, participants will learn how to select toys for the playroom and work with parents effectively. This workshop will provide a framework for conducting play therapy in order to begin conducting this work immediately. Includes didactic information and videotape presentation, as well as role-play and hands-on practice.  If you are serious about play therapy, this workshop is a MUST!  It is CBPS’ thought that every therapist working with children in a mental health capacity should have this training as a foundation regardless of the play therapy modality being used.
