Details

Join Christine M. Valentín, a clinical social worker & 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 school aged children 📚 Identify barriers that impact a parent’s ability to self-regulate & co-regulate with their child 📚 Assess which play therapy activities are best for co-regulation and self-regulation with children for their individual settings 📚 Demonstrate co-regulating and self-regulating play therapy activities Please note: Due to time constraints, this workshop will not focus on addressing issues related to certain disabilities and/or certain diagnosis.
