Total Credits: 3 Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practices CEs
The African American experience comes with misunderstandings that often make their way into the play therapy space with children. The mental health needs of African American families are sometimes even overlooked for various reasons. In this workshop, we will dive into the perception of play therapy within the African American community and how clinicians can best support the unique mental health needs of African American children and families within the play therapy process. Participants will engage in didactic and experiential learning to support cultural humility through mind and body awareness.
