Connected Care: Integrating Parents into the Play Therapy Process (1)

Parents are essential partners in the healing power of play therapy yet engaging them meaningfully can be one of the most complex aspects of child-focused work. This workshop explores how clinicians can cultivate strong, collaborative relationships with caregivers while protecting the integrity of child-centered practice. Through experiential activities, practical tools, and reflective discussion, participants will learn strategies to enhance parent communication, navigate common barriers, and integrate parents into the therapeutic process with clarity and confidence. Attendees will also

practice play-based interventions designed to deepen parent–child connection and reinforce therapeutic gains beyond the playroom. Join us for a dynamic training that strengthens the triangle of healing between therapist, child, and caregiver.
