Culture & Play Therapy: Building Rapport Across Backgrounds
Culture shapes whether a parent trusts play therapy before you've even explained what play therapy is. Start building the rapport-building language and toy selection framework you need for families whose cultural backgrounds differ.
Time & Location
Oct 17, 2026, 9:15 AM – 12:30 PM
La Sala, 219 South St, New Providence, NJ 07974, USA
About the event
This in-person training is designed for mental health professionals who are newer to working with diverse families and want a clear, practical foundation in how culture shapes a parent's attitude toward play therapy. You'll leave with concrete rapport-building language and a starting framework for selecting culturally-inclusive toys and activities. No prior cultural-competence training assumed.
🎯 Learning Objectives
In this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Identify how culture can impact a parent's attitude toward play therapy
• Identify the challenges mental health professionals encounter when working with parents in play
