Class 1

Survives Trauma, Thrives in Drama: Incorporating Trauma-Informed Play Therapy with Children and Adolescents (3 CE Credits)

10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST

As many therapists know- or really, any of us who once walked the halls of middle school, drama is a culture of childhood and adolescence. Beneath the drama of catty comments and backhanded compliments often lies a foundation built on complex trauma. Drama is another word for play, and external drama can offer a mask to underlying trauma ingrained in a person's psyche. Adolescence is a time of uncertainty, of transition, of multiple changes into the unfamiliar and unknown. Add in the pervasive effects of complex trauma- multiple traumatic events or exposure, and viola! You have concocted a perfect storm of tumultuous teen angst.

This training aims to examine the underlying factors of complex trauma, as this form of developmental trauma influences all facets of a young person's life. Therapists can benefit from a three-phase play therapy approach to stabilizing that traumatized child or teen, addressing underlying trauma themes and helping the young person reconnect with self, others, and the world around them. As deep-seated as trauma can be, it can defy any language to describe it. Therapists can use the language of play to cross these barriers and help the child client access and share their story.

Class 2

The Game of Life: Using Video Games and Board Games in Play Therapy (3 CE Credits)

1:45 PM - 4:45 PM EST

Games provide opportunities in both directive play therapy approaches as well as a fun and interactive outlet for more non-directive interventions within the play therapy room.

While the average play therapist may be no stranger to traditional board games, or games created for therapists by therapists, additional opportunities exist for the use of games in play therapy. This training will introduce less traditional board games which can be used to promote play therapy goals, discussing the benefit of using these types of games with clients who appear resistant as well as older children and adolescents. As recent trends illustrate the growing importance of technology within the language of play today, this training will also explore how to therapeutically, and ethically, use video games as play therapy interventions.
