Presented by: Juliet Fortino, LPC, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor™
Working with teens and tweens can freqently be a challenge. Using play therapy with teens and tweens can be even more of a challenge for many clinicians. However, using play therapy allows for teens and tweens to experience the therapy process differently, as well as address the underlying factors leading to the behaviors or maladjustments. This in-person training will explore strategies for teens and tweens, as well as how to get them to “buy in” to play therapy.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- discuss four common challenges facing teens and tweens.
- explain the impact of adolescent development on play therapy.
- identify strategies to engage teens in play therapy.
- demonstrate at least four creative play therapy interventions for teens and tweens.
