๐Ÿ“Italy | Learn how to build practical, play-based crisis interventionโ€”in personโ€”for your community and for crises happening around the world.

Folks are living in crisis. Hard times aren't abstract anymoreโ€”they're showing up in our therapy rooms, schools, families, and communities. And they're also unfolding globallyโ€”through political unrest, war, natural disasters, displacement, poverty, and collective trauma.

This training is about learning crisis intervention in community and developing the skills to respond wherever crisis calls youโ€”locally or globallyโ€”with clarity, confidence, and embodied presence.

๐Ÿ“ฃ Join us in beautiful Italy, July 6โ€“12, 2026, for the brand-new, exclusive Crisis Play Therapy Certification.

This is a week-long, immersive certification programโ€”deep, relational, and hands-onโ€”designed to fundamentally change how you show up in crisis work. This one-of-a-kind program is led by an internationally renowned faculty:

โœจ Isabella Cassina

โœจ Clair Mellenthin
โœจ Claudio Mochi

What you'll gain:

โœ” Up to 36 APT & APTI CE hours (29 contact + 7 non-contact)
โœ” A comprehensive, structured certificationโ€”not surface learning
โœ” Evidence-based, play-based crisis and trauma interventions
โœ” Deeply experiential, hands-on practice you can actually use

โœ” Learning in a stunning Italian setting that nourishes both nervous system and soul

โฐ Register nowโ€”Limited spots available
