This workshop equips play therapists with practical, role-affirming strategies to strengthen collaboration with educators. You’ll discover how to support teachers in ways that honor their expertise and responsibilities—while still bringing your own clinical lens to the table. In compliance-heavy, high-stress environments, educators often feel unseen or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll examine how we may unintentionally be “shoulding” educators—adding to their stress—and explore how to instead foster empowerment, clarity, and authentic connection. Blending clinical insight with hands-on application, this session helps you partner with educators in ways that build trust, reduce overwhelm, and create space for growth.
