Delivered over 2 Sessions with Poornima Ranchhod
Understanding Play Therapy Interventions with children.
Chronic stress, childhood adversity and various forms of trauma are often encountered by children, families and communities in our work. Children learn to make sense of their world through a healthy co-regulating relationship with their primary caregiver and other significant adults in their lives. Play is a universal language and significant way of how children understand and express themselves and connect with others and their environment.
This introduction level workshop focuses on ways to understand and work with emotional regulation to help children and youth cope and work through adverse life experiences.
It offers a great opportunity for participants to be introduced to Play Therapy and will provide a variety of tools, along with directive and non-directive interventions to use with clients of a wide age range. This experiential training explores how to understand and apply strategies to support children, youth and families on their path to healing.
Throughout the presentation we will utilise short videos, hands-on and experiential practices.
This workshop will cover:
Attachment and trauma theory
Adverse Childhood Experiences
How play therapy can help children promote recovery
Play and creative interventions for emotional awareness and regulation
Using directive and non-directive play therapy
Learning Objectives:
Gain an understanding of attachment theory and childhood adversity in a developmental and relational context
Describe the principles and benefits of play therapy
Introduce directive and non-directive play therapy tools and interventions
Attain strategies and skills to promote recovery and resiliency
