SUMMARY:Creative Play Therapy Interventions for Children\, Teens\, and Families
DESCRIPTION:Presented By: Liana Lowenstein\, MSW\, RSW\, CPT-S \n  \nDay One \nPlay Therapy Techniques with Hard-to-Engage Children\, Teens\, and Families \nWorking with difficult-to-engage clients can be frustrating and challenging\, even for seasoned play therapists. The challenge of working with children in therapy can be further compounded by their fear of entering therapy\, their lack of control over the decision to attend therapy\, and their developmental capacity which can make it difficult for them to respond to traditional talk-therapy. This training will explore factors that underlie therapeutic resistance and will present creative play therapy interventions for working with hard-to-engage children\, teens\, and families. Videos of client sessions will illustrate techniques\, and experiential activities will augment the learning process. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the factors underlying therapeutic resistance.\nImplement creative play therapy interventions to establish rapport-building with children of all ages.\nDescribe creative play therapy interventions to facilitate goal setting.\nUtilize innovative strategies to engage resistant\, hard to serve parents.\nImplement play therapy techniques with clients who are reluctant to verbally articulate their thoughts and feelings.\nUtilize activities to engage families in play therapy sessions.\n\n  \n  \nDay Two \nCreative Evidence-Based Play Therapy Interventions for Traumatized Children  \nThere have been a number of treatments developed and tested in recent years specifically geared to treating traumatized children. These approaches share many of the same core components: Engaging clients; conducting a systemic assessment; providing psychoeducation; addressing traumatic stress reactions; enhancing emotional regulation; facilitating adaptive coping; completing a trauma narrative; enhancing safety skills; and strengthening parenting skills. The effectiveness of trauma-treatment with children is enhanced by integrating playful\, developmentally appropriate interventions so clients will engage in treatment. This training will present innovative play therapy techniques for each of the core components of evidence-based trauma treatment. Participants will come away with many new and creative interventions they can use with traumatized clients from preschoolers to teens. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDefine acute and complex trauma/\nDescribe the core components of evidence-based trauma treatment.\nDiscuss the benefits of integrating play therapy techniques when treating traumatized children.\nApply at least three play therapy techniques to assess traumatized children and adolescents.\nImplement at least five new play therapy techniques to treat traumatized children and adolescents.\nDescribe two techniques to strengthen parenting skills.\n\n  \nAccommodations: \nThere is a room block available at the Marriott Townesuites and the Fairfield Inn and Suites.
