Description:

Discover how to understand the story children's behavior tell in the playground. Play therapists work with all sorts of behaviors in the play therapy room and with presenting concerns, including aggressive behaviors, sexualized behaviors, suicidal behaviors, anxious behaviors, among many more.

Participants will understand the impact trauma and family systems have on children and teens, and how that influences behavior for mineral biological perspective. Discussion will also cover how to work with primary caregivers of the family systems to improve behaviors and interpersonal dynamics, ultimately resulting in more healthy behaviors.
