Thank you for the recognition CAPT - Canadian Association for Play Therapy

🌟Homegrown Healing: Gratitude + Spotlight on Play Therapy Resources Made in Canada 🌟

A heartfelt thank you to CAPT member Stacy Darku, Play Therapy Intern and founder of Esinam Counselling in Nova Scotia, for her generous donation of her book "Imani and the Shades of Black" at our recent conference "Play Therapy ...In a World of Change". 💛

Stacy is dedicated to building an agency that thoughtfully supports families of colour, and her work is rooted in empathy, cultural identity, and healing.

This July, we’re highlighting resources from our CAPT community shared at our conference—and Stacy’s newly published book, “Imani and the Shades of Black,” is a powerful tool for helping children explore and embrace their racial identity. 🖤✨
