Day 2: Expanding your Play Therapy Horizon – Delve into the application of Prescriptive Play Therapy with an emphasis on overcoming roadblocks and building confidence. How do you engage in the decision making process and choose what will work best for each client?

Consider external approaches beyond traditional play therapy theories, and engage in interactive discussion to strengthen competence in prescriptive methods. And we will play some more!

Day 3: Charting the Course Forward – Focus on personal and professional growth within the play therapy field. Participate in experiential case example exercises and create a future-oriented “Miro Board” to visualize your development journey.
