Millions of traumatic events each year damage children emotionally and physiologically leaving them overwhelmed, unable to sleep, anxious, depressed, failing in school, angry and socially isolated. If left untreated, a child’s developmental trajectory can be compromised.

How do you as a professional get to the root of their pain?

What do you do when words and language can’t be accessed, when conventional interventions aren’t enough?

Watch trauma expert and play therapy supervisor, Dr. Jennifer Lefebre, in this experiential, interactive recording that will give you creative play therapy techniques and effective trauma-informed treatment strategies and interventions that are:

• Child-centered
• Playful
• Developmentally appropriate
• Culturally sensitive

Integrate play therapy principles into the work you do with children in schools and therapeutic environments. Through the power of play, you can help children explore their traumatic memories, learn to manage experiences that are overwhelming, and formulate their narrative to process their trauma.

Walk away with play therapy strategies to improve a child’s ability to self-regulate while building their sense of competence and worth, furthering their abilities to relate with others and within their environments!

1. Articulate how to help children with complex trauma histories restore their capacity for playfulness and co-regulation.
2. Evaluate the fight-or-flight response in children, and through play therapy techniques to teach children about the brain-body relationship.
3. Evaluate which trauma-informed treatment components and play therapy techniques “fit” with the specific needs of children who have experienced developmental trauma.
4. Implement play therapy techniques that are consistent with the core components of trauma-informed treatment.
5. Develop trauma-informed goals and objectives based in play therapy theory to heal children and help them be available to learn.
6. Determine how the standards of child-centered play therapy align with best practices for treating childhood trauma.
