Family First Play Therapy Centre Inc Presents

This one day hands-on workshop is for Foster and Adoptive Parents and Extended Family Caregivers who have Adopted a child or children or who are Fostering Children. Professionals supporting these families are invited to attend.

This workshop is geared to help not only foster and adopted parents, but their extended family members as well. It is a fun, interactive workshop which helps caregivers and their support teams learn the importance of using unique parenting techniques to help emotionally settle an adopted or foster child.

Children who have experience attachment losses are unique in their ability to become securely attached. This hands-on fun, interactive workshop will review the psychobiological impact of their early life experiences and how interventions like Theraplay® can assist in helping secure attachments begin to form.

This 6 hour presentation offers practitioners and parents the opportunity to learn the WHY, the WHAT and the HOW in helping children who have disrupted attachment histories. It is a dynamic, hands-on presentation that offers strategies and tools to take home and begin using right away.
