HOLDING SYSTEMS: SUPPORTING PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS IN PLAY THERAPY
Presenter: Ann Meehan, MS, LPCC, RPT-S,  EMDRIA Consultant
​

Working with parents and family systems is one of the most difficult tasks in play therapy. In addition to focusing on individual symptoms, treatment planning, and doing the actual work of play therapy, you are also often juggling parent expectations that might not be exactly in line with reality.  You're all too familiar with parents expecting quick fixes, thinking that therapy is for dropping their child off to do the work solo, or that coming to therapy is something you do when it is convenient or in crisis rather than a consistent commitment.  

Effectively involving parents in their child’s therapy leads to significantly better therapeutic outcomes. This is why it is not only important to involve parents and caregivers in Play Therapy, but essential.

This webinar will help you learn how to shift your practice with parents from one of overwhelm and blocks to ease and confidence, which leads to a more effective course of therapy and symptom reduction for your child clients! 

You will learn:
  • Why involving parents in the play therapy process is essential
  • How to effectively engage parents in play therapy
  • Interventions and tools for attachment and regulation
  • Troubleshoot common roadblocks in working with parents and caregivers​
