We have designed the program this way to be both informative and experiential. While at the facility we will focus on theoretical approaches to integrate with play therapy such as Stages of Change, Family Systems, Trauma Informed, Strengths Based, Experiential Learning, Equine Therapy, CBT & DBT. We will also focus on how to incorporate play therapy with diagnoses such as, but not limited to; Poor Academic Performance, Developmental Delays, and Disruptive or Aggressive Behaviors.
While at the park we will focus on several outdoor play therapy activity ideas to help the families that you are working with. We will emphasize adaptations for varying situations, lifestyles, and personalities. Come prepared to build your strengths and challenge the way you currently use play therapy with families.
