Black Kids Matter: Play Therapy to Empower Black Children Across the Lifespan
Presented by: April Duncan, DSW, LCSW, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor™
Black children and families are often navigating negative race-based experiences on a daily and continuous basis. However, this is often overlooked in the diagnosis and assessment of their moods and behaviors. This webinar will explore important cultural factors to consider in individual, group and family play therapy with Black children and families. Attendees will also review play-based activities to help build rapport and empower Black children dealing with depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and more. Additionally, individuals will review cultural considerations when implementing play-based interventions in the playroom, along with key items to equip in the playroom to promote cultural inclusivity.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Explore play themes that may signal racial trauma in Black children
- Discuss cultural considerations when gaining play therapy buy-in with Black students and families
- Use play-based interventions to encourage cultural pride & empowerment in Black students
