This training will explore clinical theory, techniques, and application of play therapy with early childhood populations in a school-based setting. Many mental health disorders begin in early childhood, and studies show that 72% of children ages 7 and younger have experienced at least one traumatic incident. Early therapeutic treatment assists children in learning to manage symptoms, gain skills, and provides support for social, emotional, and academic well-being. Schools have increasingly become an access point for mental and behavioral health care, and well-trained therapists embedded in these schools impact not only clients but the school culture as well. This interactive training will explore different theories of child development, play therapy modalities, and specific techniques appropriate for an early childhood school environment.
Objectives:
-
Participants will explore theories of change and techniques specific to Child Centered Play Therapy.
-
Participants will identify at least three benefits to utilizing Play Therapy in an Early Childhood school setting.
-
Participants will explore child development models and identify at least one playful tool to assess child development and needs.
