Play Therapy 101 Training Series

Presented by Heather Maritano, LCSW, RPT-S of Inner Resources Counseling

Thursday November 3, 2011 - Play Therapy 101, Part 1

This workshop is designed for those new to play therapy. We will discuss the history and development of play therapy theories, the rationale for its use in clinical practice and how to organize the "equipment" and space needed for facilitating play therapy. Case examples will be presented to illustrate the power of play therapy in resolving children's concerns. Participants should come away with a basic definition and understanding of play therapy process, as well as resources for additional learning. We will highlight the developmental significance of play for all creatures and make a distinction between play and play therapy.

Friday December 9, 2011 - Play Therapy 101, Part 2

This workshop is designed to help beginning play therapists use different approaches to play therapy and to witness the process in action through video case illustrations and discussion. Part 1 described the rationale for using play therapy and the basic tools necessary. In this second part we will explore how to put the theory into action. Structuring of sessions based on theory, presenting issue and relational style will be discussed. We will explore how to identify themes and expand metaphors. Participants will understand the difference in directive and non-directive approaches and how to use them effectively.

Hardwired for Connection:

Healing, Resiliency and Hope for Childhood Trauma

Interaction with infants and young children quickly reveals their reliance on others for access to resources needed for survival. The newest research is showing us that humans are in fact, hardwired for connection. This training will explore how the quality of early childhood relationships affects all aspects of development, the healing power of empathic connection, and ways to help young children and their caregivers use the healing power of connection to successfully resolve early childhood trauma, develop resiliency to stop the cycle of abuse, and even heal parts of the brain affected by trauma. Interventions will be identified, as will diagnostic assessment techniques and service plan goals and objectives to assist in bringing this treatment to your current work.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, SPACE IS LIMITED. See brochure for details.
