Intake to the Witness Chair - Navigating as a Play Therapist
Play therapists need help navigating from the first contact with a parent looking for child therapy to the witness chair in a family court situation. Each twist and turn of the journey, Christy will put on her captain's hat and share information from national sources on how to ethically set up the intake process, respond to attorney questions, maintain their role, and protect themselves from liability. During this course, play therapists will learn where the waters are dangerous and how to find the calm in the storm. Throughout, the play therapist will learn to evaluate policies and procedures from their own theoretical lens.

Basics of Play Therapy
This training is geared towards play therapists, who did not have formal play therapy training as a part of their education. The basics of play therapy history, theory, toy selection, and skills will be included to expand knowledge for working with children in a way that is grounded in child-centered theory. There will be a focus on building the parent/ therapist alliance and areas to explore during intake to enhance play therapy practice. Participants will have the opportunity to practice basic play therapy responses and skills to implement in play therapy sessions.
