Join us this Sunday to kick off International Play Therapy Week™ with CAPT at La Belle Bakery (Broomfield), 9:30–11:00 AM. Food’s on us!

We’re inviting play therapists, counseling students, and professionals who support children and families to connect, meet up, and celebrate all week long.

International Play Therapy Week is about celebrating and advocating for developmentally responsive care for kids and families. Play therapy is one powerful modality within a broader, collaborative system of care, and this week CAPT is focusing on connection—learning from one another, answering questions, and building community across child-serving professions.

Come say hi, grab some food (on CAPT!), and spend some time connecting - we’d genuinely love to meet you and get to know you.

Can’t make it Sunday? No worries! We’ll be hosting additional meet-ups at various locations throughout the week, so there will be plenty of chances to join in.

Hope to see you there!
