We provide interactive, small-group play therapy seminars designed to strengthen professional skills. Each workshop includes pre-readings for deeper learning and offers both contact and non-contact continuing education hours. Join us to expand your practice, connect with peers, and grow in a supportive, inclusive environment.
Mission
The mission of the Institute for Play Therapy (IPT) is to offer quality play therapy training to professionals in the community and to encourage play therapy networking, research, and resources.
Our goal in providing play therapy education is to enrich and challenge each participant’s knowledge, skills, and practice. The seminars are conducted in small groups to facilitate discussion and provide opportunities for experiential work. We remain committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workshops we offer and in our group of IPT facilitators and invited guest presenters.
We offer seminars that include required reading in preparation for the full day of education and experience. This allows the participant to earn non-contact continuing education hours, in connection with the contact hours, therefore expanding the total credit hours. The readings also provide for a richer, more in-depth seminar experience.
