Social Workers
Professional Development for Social Workers
Children’s play is the most natural way that children express their feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Play therapy skills can help Social Workers be able to identify the problem and then guide the child and the family toward solutions. Through our webinars Social Workers can learn techniques such as how to bounce a ball to a child, how to play with clay, how to maneuver sand and water, or play a game together to effectively help a child that is experiencing emotional issues.
