This week, we continue our celebration of Certified SPTers who recently accomplished milestones.
Heather Fairlee Denbrough recently won the Giving Back to the Community Award from Washington State Association for Play Therapy. Heather was recognized for consistently giving back to her community, bringing play therapy to underserved families, mentoring therapists, and offering free resources to therapists and families. Check out our Facebook community for a handout Heather shared for parents to support kids worrying about immigration enforcement in schools
Heather, congratulations on this award!
