Training Details
Come join the Minnesota Association for Play Therapy for a two hour late-night-learning training that will introduce you to the four dimensions of healthy attachment as well as Theraplay activities to support each of the four dimensions with presenter Alexis Greeves, LPCC, RPT-S™!
Theraplay is a dyadic child and family therapy that has been recognized by the Association of Play Therapy as one of ten seminal psychotherapies for children. Developed over 50 years ago, and practiced around the world, Theraplay was developed for any professional working to support healthy child/caregiver attachment. Strong attachment between the child and the important adults in their life has long been believed to be the basis of lifelong good mental health as well as the mainstay of resilience in the face of adversity. Modern brain research and the field of neuroscience have shown that attachment is the way in which children come to understand, trust and thrive in their world.
This is a workshop to attend if you have ever been curious about Theraplay but aren't yet ready to commit to the four day Level One training, or you've been looking for a way to include caregivers in your play therapy work.
Date: Wednesday, September 11th
Time: 6:00 - 8:00 PM CST
Cost: $20
CEs: This training is approved by the Minnesota Association for Play Therapy (APT Approved Provider 06-177) for 2 APT Non-Contact CEs. Play therapy credit may not be given to non-mental health professionals.
Format: This is a virtual event - so come train wherever it works for you!
