CCCC Play Therapy Training Program Overview

Description the purpose of the CCCC’s Play Therapy Training Program is to provide clinicians and

graduate students in mental health programs a specialized, advanced training (at the graduate level) in

play therapy and evidence-based treatment protocols when working with children and adolescents (and

their families). This series is designed for practitioners of play therapy to improve client care, either

directly or indirectly, by demonstrating evidence of either a systematic use of a therapeutic model, the

establishment of an interpersonal process using the therapeutic powers of play, and intent to prevent or

resolve psychosocial difficulties and/or achieve optimal growth and development, OR content that

enhances the specific professional proficiency of mental health practitioners who are engaged in the

clinical practice of play therapy, the supervision of play therapists, or the instruction of play therapy. As

we live in a pluralistic society, this series seeks to enhance clinicians’ multicultural competency by

discussing and demonstrating concepts through the use of clinical videos of counseling diverse children

and families in real-world settings.

Audience The targeted audience is mental health clinicians (school counselors, social workers,

child/adolescent counselors in private practice, child and school psychologists, family therapists, and play

therapists) and graduate students focusing on clinical work with children/adolescents using play therapy,

a developmentally-appropriate, empirically-supported treatment modality. The workshops will also

incorporate current play therapy research-based interventions to utilize with culturally diverse children,

adolescents, and their families in an effort to bolster clinician’s multicultural competency.

Daily Agenda To ensure CEU credits (8 CEU’s per workshop), each daily training will begin on time at

8:30am and conclude at 5:20pm.

8:30am-10:30am- Part 1 (2 hours)

10:30-10:40am- Break 1

10:40am-12:40-pm- Part 2 (2 hours)

12:40pm-1:10pm- Lunch

1:10-pm-3:10pm- Part 3 (2 hours)

3:10-3:20pm- Break 2

3:20pm-5:20pm- Part 4 (2 hours)

Total= 8 CEU’s per workshop

CEU’s Participants who complete the program will earn 64 hours of continuing education credits that

may be used towards mental health licensure and satisfy a portion of the 150 play therapy-specific

education hours towards procuring certification as a RPT. The CEU’s may also be applied in the

counseling, family therapy, and social work disciplines (check with your individual licensing boards). APT
