Description:
Are you a play therapist needing play therapy supervision training? Are you a mental health professional wanting to enhance your supervision skills? This training focuses on addressing challenges and issues in working with parents and caregivers in play therapy. It is designed to provide a training program that supervisors can share with their supervisees during supervision meetings.  Common issues a supervisee may experience will be covered, play therapy models that incorporate parents will be highlighted, and strategies for success in working with parents will be presented. Participants will have the opportunity to explore issues that typically arise when working with parents and review strategies and ideas to help the supervisee’s work with parents and caregivers proceed more smoothly. 

 

Learning Objectives:
1) Name at least 2 challenging areas a supervisee might lack experience and struggle with when working with parents/caregivers in play therapy.
2) Explain at least 2 resources or tools the supervisor can share in supervision for working with parents/caregivers in play therapy.
3) Identify three play therapy models that a supervisor can utilize with the supervisee to discuss including parents in the therapeutic process.

This was a useful course as the articles were well selected, informative and well written. I would have liked to hear a pre recorded lecture from the 'facilitator' on their approach to supervision and how this has changed over time. I appreciated that I was able to complete the course at my own pace. Registering was simple !
