This engaging 2-hour online session on play therapy is thoughtfully divided into dynamic 20-minute segments that blend concise presentations with interactive activities. Participants will explore the profound therapeutic powers of play, learning how to apply these techniques safely across diverse settings.
The session will provide practical guidance on identifying when a child might benefit from more structured play therapy, enriched with reflective and experiential learning. Designed to be both informative and hands-on, this webinar fosters understanding through small group discussions and active participation, making it ideal for child mental health professionals seeking practical skills to enhance their therapeutic practice.
The speaker will incorporate reflective and experiential elements, and small breakout discussions, to make the session engaging and practical for participants.
