Description:
The practice of Play Therapy dates back to Anna Freud and Melanie Klein in the 1920’s. The demand for training and play therapy services as a therapeutic modality has recently surged significantly. But what exactly is play therapy and how does it work to bring about healing to children and families? How can playing with toys help children heal from some of the deepest traumatic wounds? Why has play therapy been what appears to be “the best kept secret” for so many years? Attend this introductory information rich workshop and learn the responses to these questions. Moreover, learn the differences between directive and non-directive play therapy, in addition to at least five interventions that can be used immediately. If you are serious about enriching your tool box with evidence-based therapy, this training is a must!
