The
Canadian Association of Child and Play Therapy
In Partnership with
The Phoenix Centre for Children and Families
is pleased to announce the
OTTAWA REGION PLAY THERAPY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
This program
has been initiated in response to the region’s need to improve the
accessibility of play therapy interventions for children/youth and families
in the Ottawa Region. It has been created in a unique format which will
provide all the core course requirements in a 12 month period (rather than
the traditional 3 years).
Eligible professionals attending the program in Pembroke, Ontario will be
provided the same quality of education as that offered in the core London,
Ontario program.
As an additional feature the Centre of Excellence for Children’s Mental
Health will consider providing professional development funds to clinicians
approved to attend the course. The application for this can be downloaded by
visiting www.onthepoint.ca.. It is advised that an application for this
funding not be completed until there is confirmation of acceptance into the
program.
Please note that the deadline for applications has been extended
to February 15, 2008. The $100 application fee will be refunded if there are
insufficient numbers to proceed with the course.
To find out more about the Ottawa Region Play Therapy Certificate Program

CACPT Intensive Continuing Education Course
Introductory
Theraplay With Dr. Evangeline Munns, PhD, Cpsych, RTP-S, CPT-S
Date: June 21-24, 2008
Overview: Theraplay is a dynamic and effective short-term
approach to treating children’s emotional and behavioural problems.
Theraplay is an approach that focuses on the intimacy and physical interplay
that characterize normal relationships between a parent and child. Theraplay
techniques use structured play to enhance healthy attachment and promote the
child’s self-esteem, competence and trust in others. It is applicable to
children of all ages from infants to adolescents. Methods for guiding
parents to observe their children more empathically and to participate in
treatment sessions aimed at fostering better parent-child relationship will
be reviewed.
Learning Objectives: 1) Understand attachment theory; 2)
Identify the theory and research underlying Theraplay; 3) Identify how
Theraplay can strengthen attachment and resolve behaviour problems; 4)
Describe how Theraplay can be used to treat a wide range of treatment
populations; 5) Identify the dimensions of Theraplay; 6) Identify how to
apply the techniques of Theraplay; 7) Identify the basic group of Theraplay;
8) Identify how to assess parent-child relationships using the Marschak
Interaction Method.
Note: This 4 day course is offered as a continuing
education opportunity. The 4 days are necessary to receive the introductory
theraplay certificate which is a first step needed towards certification as
a theraplay therapist.
