Playfully STEPping into a New Family System: Using Play Therapy with Step and Blended Families

While there is TONS of research on working with stepfamilies or blended families, many mental health programs fail to address the complexity of working with these types of families which differ significantly than nuclear families.

30% of children will live in step or blended families before reaching adulthood so it’s likely that clinicians will encounter a step or blended family during their career. This training aims to give clinicians the basic understanding of typical step/blended family dynamics, how to apply this psychoeducation in therapy sessions, and how to help families start their restructuring process – all while looking at these steps through a play therapy lens.

This training will pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Theraplay ®, and Expressive Art Therapies. Clinicians will gain directive play therapy-based activities that they can immediately implement with their clients.
