Creative Techniques in Child Therapy
with Jeannette Harroun, LMFT, RPT-S
It is said that you cannot enter any world for which you don’t have the language[i] and that is particularly true in working with children. Play is a child’s language and both play and expressive arts techniques provide an effective means for therapeutic work with children. Many play therapy techniques are evidence-based and effectively integrated with a variety of theoretical perspectives. In today’s two hour workshop we will explore approaches to play therapy, the healing benefits of play and interventions to successfully engage and support children and families in addressing concerns including depression, anxiety, self-regulation and trauma. The class will include both didactic instruction, roleplays and activities with other participants.
[i] Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosopher
At the end of this training, participants will be able to:
▻ Describe three (3) benefits of using play therapy and family play sessions.
▻ Describe three (3) play therapy interventions and describe how they can be used to help children express feelings and learn coping strategies.
