Congratulations Greenstream, Foundations in Play Therapy 2011 graduates!

It was
a
rich experience as those from around the world shared their insights
regarding play therapy and the current state of play therapy as a
profession. This year there were representatives from Croatia, Ireland,
India, Turkey, Uruguay, United States, and Canada The layering of theory
and practice was a major emphasis during the training and all participants
had the opportunity to work with 7 modalities (sand, puppets, art, music,
movement, clay, therapeutic and story-telling). Additionally, unique to
Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute was the ability of participants to
work in fully equipped play therapy rooms. The group studied at least 8
approaches/models of play therapy and practiced many discrete tracking and
reflecting skills. Overall, it was an amazing time together and we look
forward to seeing you all again in the coming year
