Integrating Play & Family Therapy


When: September 15-18, 2022
Where: Bradford Woods, Agape Lodge
Instructor: Heather Maritano
Prerequisites: None
CEUs: 30
This workshop is designed for play therapy supervision, and meets the required 30 hours of supervisory training necessary to obtain the “S” in RPT-S.
We will discuss the complex nature of supervision, the various tasks & roles of a supervisor, supervision models, and how to mitigate risks inherent in providing supervision. There will be ample reflection and discussion around one’s identity as a supervisor.
A weekend of creativity & discovery
Care is given to address the unique aspects of being a play therapy supervisor, and there will be opportunity to practice expressive techniques for use in supervision.
Additionally participants will be given prompts and unstructured time to engage in self- reflection regarding their own work. For specifics, click above on the schedule and core content link.
We begin with an opening dessert session on Thursday evening and end after brunch on Sunday. Additionally there are a few pre-training readings and a final paper.
While the days are long, the schedule is broken into short topic-focused sessions with time to reflect and relax in between. You should feel full, and yet fully restored, upon leaving.
