Cost: £250
Course Curriculum
This two-day workshop will focus on the dynamic relationship facets of training parents to be therapeutic agents in their children’s lives. Using a format of lectures, demonstration play sessions and supervision, practitioners are taught how to support parents with basic child-centred play therapy principles and skills. These include tracking, responsive listening, reflecting feelings, returning responsibility to children, the ACT model of limit setting, building children’s self-esteem. Participants will also learn how to structure weekly play sessions with children using a special kit of selected toys.
On this practical ‘how to’ training course you will be provided with training/treatment outlines for the 10 sessions, and an understanding of how to teach the child-centred play therapy skills in ways that involve parents in the learning process. Participants will aslo learn how to meet both the parent’s and child’s emotional needs, utilising group dynamics, facilitative supervision, demonstrations and video segments of Dr. Landreth’s CPRT parent training sessions. CPRT’s preventative nature and relatively brief treatment time frame make this treatment model particularly attractive in today’s mental health climate.
