Learn to respect and integrate diverse cultural backgrounds in therapy.
Are you a play therapist struggling to navigate the complexities of cultural diversity in your sessions?
Do you wish you could confidently address personal biases and enhance your therapeutic impact?
You're not alone. Many therapists find it challenging to balance cultural respect with effective therapy. Personal biases can unknowingly impact your practice, leaving you feeling unsure and ineffective.
This course helps play therapists use interventions that respect clients' & families' diverse cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and unique experiences, according to APT's Best Practices.
We also will discuss how to be more aware of our own biases and their influence on our play therapy work.
Whether you attend live in Houston or via our live stream, you'll get action steps to feel more confident in your practice.
