Description:

Play Therapy is an incredible communication tool for children when they are unable to verbally express themselves. Through play, children are allowed to:

• Become aware of and express their feelings
• Manage anger
• Improve self-control
• Reduce fear, anxiety, and depression

You will leave with a toolbox filled with ready to use Play Therapy techniques that you will immediately implement in your work with children and can also be adapted for clients of all ages.

In this recording, you’ll learn how to communicate with children through play, strengthen relationships, help children regulate their minds and bodies, and to help them create a safe space to heal. Experience the fun-filled power of play therapy and other expressive arts modalities.

Tammi Van Hollander, LCSW, RPT, will show you how to effectively use sand trays, bibliotherapy, mindfulness, and so many other powerful techniques. Much of this conference will include active learning and hands-on participation. Get ready to learn and have fun!
