About the Workshop

This friendly and welcoming small group training is for therapists, counselors, social workers and others who work with children ages 3 to 12 and who are interested in learning Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), a core skill for helping children who are experiencing behavioral or emotional difficulties.  This humanistic therapy is based on the premise that play is the language of children, that growth and healing develop from fully and completely accepting the child exactly as she or he is and that safety and structure are essential ingredients. The workshop is limited to 6 participants.

On Day 1, the focus will be on theory & practice.  The essential CCPT skills, structuring, empathic listening, imaginary play and limit setting, will be taught through the use of videos, roleplays and  individualized, supportive feedback.

On Day 2, the focus will be on understanding themes, recognizing stages of therapy & tracking progress. Difficult types of play, such as trauma play, will be examined. Involving parents will be covered. Lecture, videos and roleplays will be used. Participants are encouraged to bring case material.
