Description

Tele-health with kids…impossible? Actually, the kids I’ve been providing telehealth for have been the most engaged, creative, and enthusiastic clients that I work with… Kids delight in the excitement of play, and not even a screen can stop their vivid imaginations!

The screen acts as a safe container to connect with children and families in a way that “zooms” into their lives and homes, to deepen our understanding of their world and creates a platform to elevate and sustain engagement. I’ll show you how through the screen, you can help kids form healthy attachments, attunement and regulation.

Watch me, Tammi Van Hollander, LCSW, RPT-S, to see how seamlessly play therapy translates on the screen, in a webinar filled with developmentally appropriate, fun, play-based interventions to rewire the brain and create a sense of trust and safety in the child’s world. Through tele-play therapy, children learn how to interact with the world around them, communicate with others, problem-solve, discover emotions and empathy, ignite their vivid imagination and much, much more! It has opened us to a new virtual platform where our therapeutic play space can continue to live on.

This program will offer a fresh outlook leaving you and your clients hopeful, encouraged and inspired! Purchase Today!

Things to have on hand: playdough or clay, journal, blank paper, coloured pencils or markers

"I appreciated Tammi's attention to questions, but she almost gave too much attention to questions. I was disappointed the last part was rushed for the last exercise."
