About the Workshop
Have you heard of Play Therapy but are still unsure what it really means? Have you wondered how children can progress in therapy by “just playing”? This introductory course provides a foundational overview of play therapy as a developmentally responsive, evidence-informed approach to supporting children’s social, emotional, and relational well-being. Participants from multiple disciplines—including mental health, education, healthcare, and child welfare— are welcome to join in exploring core principles of play therapy and the therapeutic value of play!
​

Explain how play can be used as a meaningful communication and regulation tool for children.

If the presenter is not available, place his/her comments in writing. Owner will convey these comments to the speaker while maintaining confidentiality of the complainant.
2. If the complaint concerns a continuing education activity, its content, level of presentation, or facilities in which the event is being held, owner will attempt to resolve the mater as expeditiously as possible. If the offered resolution (resolutions may include, but
