Description:
 
Sand play therapy can be used with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, family, and group therapeutic interventions.  Adding sand play therapy to your clinical repertoire provides an alternative to verbal-based interventions and creates an opportunity for richer client-counselor interactions. This introductory/intermediate training in sand play therapy will provide participants with an understanding of the history and practice of sand play therapy.  The fundamentals of sand play therapy will be demonstrated as the participants engage in an authentic learning experience.
