Hello Awesome Student!

We are delighted that you will be joining us for the upcoming Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT) Intensive Training. Whether you are familiar with SPT or just jumping in, welcome!  You are in for a magical experience as you watch your child client and 3 other children transform and integrate right before your very eyes.  And… one of the best parts is that you will get to transform right along side them!

This training is limited to only 4 therapists at a time in order to support your integration of the material at a high level.  You will be guided by 2 fabulous Certified Synergetic Play Therapy Supervisors/Instructors who have been on the exact same journey you are about to embark on.

To get you started and grounded in the experience, here is some information to help you:

The training will take place at the location specified below.  The hours of the training are 9:00 am – 6:00 pm every day of the training with an hour lunch break. (Lunch not provided, but feel free to bring one with you if you would like)  We have included the  Intensive Training Schedule so that you have a better idea about the order of events for the training.

TRAINING LOCATION: 

July 18th – 24th,  2020 (one day off in the middle) Braindrops Play Therapy & Wellness LLC, 209 E Plum St, Fort Collins, | CO 80524

ATTIRE: 

We encourage you to dress comfortably and to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting messy. Keep in mind that you will be playing and will spend a lot of time on the floor, so we do not encourage you to wear a skirt. Note:  You will be meeting with the parents of your child client in addition to having a 20 minute play therapy session in the afternoon on the first day. You will also see the parents during each drop off/pick up every day and meet with them again on the very last day, so you will need to look professional, even though you can be casual. Jeans are just fine to wear. We also encourage you to bring walking/hiking shoes and spend a little time outside at the end of the day.   (If you just felt nervous reading that you are meeting the parents and your kiddo on the first day, take a deep breath.  You are completely supported and we will help you ease into this process slowly and guide you each step of the way)

WHAT TO BRING: 

All of your training materials will be provided for you. Please bring a laptop for note taking and for writing your final treatment summary (we will teach you how to write a great one!). You will also be given time on the last day of your training to log onto the training platform, rate the class objectives and access your certificate.

If you would like to support your training and get a jump start go ahead and order Lisa Dion’s book. She will be providing supplemental readings from it. You can purchase her book via this link:  Aggression in Play Therapy: A Neurobiological Approach for Integrating Intensity by Lisa Dion.
