SUMMARY:Termination in Play Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Online\, On-Demand Workshop \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Termination is a crucial aspect of any therapy process and can be difficult for both client and therapist. However\, when done successfully\, the end of therapy can be a positive experience with a long-lasting impact on both the client and therapist. Termination of therapy is an opportunity for closure and for the client and therapist to review the personal growth that has unfolded over the course of treatment. \nTermination of services with children in a Play Therapy setting can also be more challenging as children may experience termination differently compared to adult or teenage clients due to multiple factors including but not limited to their developmental stage\, past and current experiences\, environmental factors\, and relationships they have with other adults in their lives. The termination process can be particularly difficult and triggering for child clients who have experienced prior loss\, trauma\, or other adverse life experiences. Termination may bring up feelings related to these past adverse or traumatic experiences\, especially prior experiences with loss and grief. \nTherapeutic work with children should always involve working with caregivers of the children. Therefore\, terminating the therapy process includes terminating the relationship with the client and the client’s caregivers. Play Therapists\, even if only working with younger individuals\, should have the knowledge and skills to successfully end the therapy process with both children and adults. \nObjectives \n\n   * Describe the importance of proper termination in Play Therapy.\n   * Identify procedures of ending the Play Therapy experience.\n   * Explain the process of terminating therapeutic relationship between clients and therapists in the playroom.\n   * List at least 3 termination activities to use in Play Therapy.\n\n\n\n\n\nCost: $25 (1 hour play therapy non-contact APT CE and 1 State of Florida CEU included). Student discounts are available: Please email us with your name\, school\, and a request for a 30% student discount code. Note: Play Therapy credit may not be awarded to non-mental health professionals. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nUpon registration\, you will have 30 days of 24/7 on-demand access to the workshop. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter \n\n\n\nNida Paul\, LMHC\, NCC\, RPT-S \n\n\n\nNida Paul is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor\, National Certified Counselor\, and Registered Play Therapist who has worked with children and families since 2010\, with a primary focus on working with young children and their parents\, caregivers\, and families. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNida received her Master’s of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and has training in Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)\, Group Play Therapy\, Infant Mental Health\, Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)\, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)\, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  \n\n\n\nIn addition to her role as the Director of the Childcare and Community Social-Emotional Wellness (CCSEW) Program for several years\, Nida was a supervisor within Center for Child Counseling’s Education and Prevention Services overseeing interns and providing Play Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care training around Palm Beach County and the state. \n\n\n\nNida is passionate about working with children and families who experienced trauma and helping them heal – and sharing her knowledge and experience through training others in the field. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCenter for Child Counseling is approved by the Association for Play Therapy\, APT Approved Provider #09-263.
