Training Description:

This workshop will demonstrate various interventions that can be used during play therapy with youth in the welfare system, probation system and/or behavioral health system. This workshop also provides clinicians with the ADDRESSING framework in order to provide culturally responsive care to youth and families in the welfare, probation, and behavioral health system. This workshop will provide case studies in order to highlight how play therapy interventions can be used with at-risk youth and their families. This workshop will also address how interventions can be applied both in face-to-face settings as well as virtual settings with low to no cost items.

    I acknowledge the ancestral homelands of the Ohlone and Coast Miwok People as the traditional owners and caretakers of the land on which we meet, live, work, and visit. I recognize that the Ohlone and Coast Miwok People have not only had to endure genocide and colonization but their ancestral lands which extend from the San Francisco Bay to Big Sur which was stolen and exploited. I pay respect to their elders, past, present, and future. I also recognize that the indigenous community is alive and present. This is really a call for all of us to continue to learn and be better advocates for and stand with the indigenous communities. If you want to know more about the land you're on and the indigenous community of that land, please check out this link: https://native-land.ca/. To learn more about the Muwekma Ohlone People please visit their official website: http://www.muwekma.org/index.html. Not only am I happy to learn more and do more, but I encourage a community of sharing information, collaboration, and advocacy.

    Fluent In Play Therapy welcomes and accepts people of all genders, cultures, races, religions,

    sexual orientations, and abilities.
