SUMMARY:SPECIAL SALE! Directive Play Therapy for Struggling Children
DESCRIPTION:Last-Minute Deal! $50 Off!\nDirective Play Therapy for Struggling Children\nPresented by: Kristie Baber\, MSW\, LICSW\, CCTP\nWhen: Thursday\, April 16th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs | $190.00 NOW ONLY $140.00!\nVirginia Axline has told us that\, “Play is the primary and natural medium of communication for children” (1947) and that therapists can provide the opportunity for kids to express their emotions and process their experiences. However\, those of us who work with distressed or traumatized children know that sometimes we need to do more than that. \nThis is a single-day clinical workshop designed to answer the question child therapists ask\, “Yes\, but how exactly do I do that in session?”  This workshop will be focused on the detailed\, how-to of directive play therapy with children. We will discuss the clinical frame – from setting up an office to addressing behavioral problems in session – as well as effective interventions within it. \nDirective play therapy can be utilized to promote healing from traumatic events\, facilitate the expression of emotions\, develop more secure attachment patterns\, introduce new ways of thinking and behaving\, learn problem-solving skills\, improve social and communication skills\, and support regulation. \nThis class will give practicing therapists\, child welfare professionals\, and other pediatric providers working with children aged 0-11 practical tools and ideas to leverage therapeutic change. The workshop will be conducted in a Zoom format.  \nTeaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion\, lectures with clinical examples & video illustrations\, and individual/group case exercises. (Please note:  Workshop will cover clinical applications and interventions for children\, not forensic assessment of play for evaluation purposes.) \nObjectives:\n\nExplore the brain development\, memory systems\, attachment needs\, and trauma impacts that influence our baseline neurobiology and a child’s capacity for therapeutic growth.\nUnderstand the distinction between directive and non-directive play therapy and the clinical applications for both with children.\nHaving knowledge of the therapeutic frame\, learn to set daily treatment plans and establish the structure of a child’s session.\nConsider different categories of play useful for addressing various treatment goals.\nExplore options of therapeutic toys\, games\, and crafts with examples of their use in sessions.\nAccess provided references and resources for further study.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
