Play Therapy History: Who, What, When, Where, Why & How to Integrate it into your Practice
Most clinicians use play without knowing the theory behind it, or skip it because "I don't work with children." This 3 hour, in-person training covers the history and major theories of play therapy, the difference between directive and non-directive work, and live demonstrations you'll practice.

About the event
Join Christine M. Valentín, a licensed clinical social worker and Registered Play therapist for an in-person, CE training for mental health professionals.
Description: Play is how children make sense of the world, and adults never fully lose that language. This beginner, in-person training covers where play therapy came from, the theories that shaped it, and how directive and non-directive approaches differ in practice. You won't just hear about techniques. You'll try them in the room and leave knowing which ones fit your setting, whether that's private practice, a school, a non-profit, or a caseload of adults.
Don't work with children? You'll still walk away with games and activities you can use with adult clients, or recommend to them for use at home.
Learning Objectives:
In this workshop, participants will be able to:
1) Discover the historical evolution of Play therapy
