Cultivating Children’s Character in the School Setting Through Play Therapy
Presented by Dana Holtz, LPC, NCC, A-CAdPT, RPT-S™
Children attend school up to 35 hours a week... what a perfect place to incorporate play therapy to cultivate healthy social/emotional character traits to support pro-social behavior choices!! Together we explore ways to incorporate play therapy into the school setting (and not just in the office)! Strategies and techniques will be shared from an Adlerian play therapy lens to address challenges such as aggression, low self-esteem, and bullying behavior.
