Teaching Parents how to Self-regulate and Co-regulate through Play therapy

Join Christine M. Valentín, a licensed clinical social worker and Registered Play therapist at an in-person, CE training for mental health professionals.

Description: This in-person training is designed for play therapists who work in diverse settings and wish to enhance their skills in educating parents/caregivers of elementary school-aged children about dysregulation, self-regulation, and co-regulation. Additionally, we will address the barriers some parents/caregivers face in regulating themselves and provide guidance on how to offer constructive feedback that strengthens the play therapy relationship and enhances their ability to co-regulate with their young child. Participants will also learn and demonstrate activities/games that can be used in play therapy to promote regulation and co-regulation between caregiver and child.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

• Explain dysregulation, coregulation and self-regulation to Parents/Caregivers of elementary school aged children​
