Play Therapy Workshop Descriptions

Ecosystemic Play Therapy  through a Cultural and Social Diverse Lens

Sponsored by the NASW

VIRTUAL ONLY– Non-Contact CEs (2)
June 30, 2023
10:00 am -12:15pm EST

As clinicians, it is important to move from a focus on mastery in understanding our clients to being accountable in challenging unconscious bias that impact marginalized communities. This training will explore ways in which cultural values and structural forces impact client experiences as well as the clinician’s approach and capacity for care. Ecosystemic Play Therapy focuses on the whole client in that children are largely dependent on the systems in which they are encapsulated and rely on clinicians to meet those needs. Drawing on multiple theories, and the therapeutic powers of play, this training will focus on conceptualizing a case where a client faces difficulties in an environmental context and designing treatment plans and interventions to meet their needs. Clinicians will be asked to focus on self-awareness and the barriers clients face in treatment, and ways to be more inclusive of present health, economic, and social inequities.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore the seminal theory of Ecosystemic Play Therapy
  • Demonstrate the use of therapeutic powers of play and intersectionality with assessment and treatment planning
  • Explore cultural humility and self reflection when working with youth
  • Explore clinical reflective practice
  • Demonstrate at least 3 inclusive play therapy interventions with children

Children’s Drawings in Play Therapy- Beginner/Intermediate 6 CEs

IN PERSON AND LIVE VIRTUAL

August 4, 2023
9:00 am- 4:00 pm EST

Children often better express their emotions on a nonverbal level though art and play. Children’s drawing, for instance, can tell a story about what children are feeling in a way that talking about it does not. This workshop consists of evidenced based practices, art and play therapy, and how they play an instrumental part in helping children heal. Participants will be engaged in the therapeutic art and play techniques demonstrated to better understand their application and use with children.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify how using drawings as a means of communication enhances the play therapy session.
  • Identify the therapeutic benefits of using drawing in play therapy.
  • Highlight how catharsis can be difficult to reach when working with children who are challenged with complications of managing emotions.
  • Demonstrate at least 6 play and art-based interventions for children utilizing the therapeutic powers of play.
