National Play Therapy Week 2022
Game On! Using and Creating Games in Play Therapy presented by Laura Hutchison, PsyD, RPT-S

A majority of the workshop will be spent learning about different games through demonstration and active participation. We will also discuss what populations and diagnoses the games work best with. Additionally, participants will create their own simple board game which will be able to be used in play therapy.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Identify 20 games to use in play therapy.
