2 CEs | Child Centered Play Therapy In Small Spaces: A Primer

This training is presented by Jordan Prebys, MA, LCPC, RPT-S. RSP on behalf of Heart and Solutions Counseling Agency. CE Hours: 2 Credit Type: NBCC; APT Play Therapy Areas: Seminal or Historically Signifiant Theories (1) Skills and Methods (1) Difficulty: Beginner Program Description: Working with children is a unique skill that graduate programs often don’t adequately prepare clinicians for. Because children are developmentally different from adults, it is essential for clinicians who work with children to understand the vital importance of using non-verbal therapy with children, particularly play therapy. This program will introduce the concept of Child Centered Play Therapy, the clinical power of this theoretical framework with children, and will address the challenge of small office spaces - and how to begin using play therapy without the luxury of a separate or large play space. Learning Objectives: 1. Participants will be able to identify developmental theory supporting the vital importance of using play in the treatment of children 12 and under, versus talk therapy. 2. Participants will be able to identify 8 basic principles of child-centered play therapy. 3. Participants will be guided on how to create a therapeutically balanced play therapy starting kit for use in a small office space, or in providing mobile play therapy. 4. Participants will learn about two formative theorists in the development of this mode of treatment. to access the quiz and receive CE hours for this training, you may purchase it online at: https://youneedatraining.learnworlds.... --- Heart And Solutions has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7376.
