Training Description:

Balancing the needs and expectations of a school while using play therapy can be difficult. This workshop will help school-based play therapists learn how to support children from preschool to high school by using expressive therapy interventions in individual and group play therapy within a school setting. Participants will also learn how to
communicate the effectiveness of play therapy to school staff and administrators, while also exploring how to create play-based universal supports in collaboration with teachers. Additionally, participants will explore play-based interventions and goals that can address common mental health issues in schools including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. Special attention will be given to these common issues within the parameters of IEP services.

Learning Objectives 

1. Create play therapy goals in alignment with Social Work Counseling services conducted
   through a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
