For you Judi

Walk away from people who put you down.
Walk away from fights that will never be resolved.
Walk away from trying to please people who will never see your worth.
The more you walk away from things that poison your soul, the healthier you will be. Paulo Coelho

This is particularly useful to support children and young people following natural or man-made disasters.

Play Therapy World is so excited to host a event on the 13th May 2022, with Prof Mooli Lahad, PhD. His therapeutic methods using the BASIC Ph and 6PSM can help in clinical reasoning for working with children and young people, especially following man-made or natural disasters and useful to enhance coping and resiliency.

It is hoped that this event will generate enough interest so that we can offer Prof Lahad's online certificate course to learn how to score and use the methods to their full potential.

Please direct all inquires to John via email playtherapyworld@bigpond.com

Also let him know if you are interested in the certificate course as this will be limited to only 25 participants.

Play therapy approaches, are neurodiversity affirming – valuing the child, giving the child a voice, and affirming the identity of the child. Play is the natural language of all children regardless of diagnosis, disability, or developmental issue. Play makes learning an enjoyable and engaging experience and provides the best method to impart information needed by children to overcome struggles (Schaefer & Drewes, 2014).
