Holding Space in Hard Times is a support circle for mental health therapists navigating the emotional toll of current events, violence, injustice, political unrest, and collective grief. As therapists, we are trained to hold space for others, but many of us also carry personal sorrow, burnout, rage, fear, and fatigue in response to the events unfolding in the world. This live webinar series offers a space to pause, ask questions, and be held in return. It is not supervision or consultation. It is a place for community care. Join the Synergetic Play Therapy Institute's Cultural Ambassador, Liliana Baylon, as we reflect together on how the current climate impacts our minds, bodies, and clinical work, name what often goes unspoken in therapy spaces, and practice grounding and cultural humility. Through connection and honest conversation, we witness each other without the pressure to fix or perform. This space invites you to come as you are, to release what you can, and to leave feeling more connected and less alone! 2026 Holding Space in Hard Times Dates:- February 25, 2026, 11am-12pm Mountain Time (Denver)
- May 6, 2026, 5pm-6pm Mountain Time (Denver)
- August 5, 2026, 11am-12pm Mountain Time (Denver)

Eating challenges in children can show up in many ways. From the refusal to eat to eating too much, underneath often lies the need for perfectionism and control. Helping kids take these challenges off their plates involves offering choices and uncovering co-existing issues, as well as providing parental support. This course takes a look at this important struggle.

Every adoption experience is unique, with a wide variety of perceptions. Yet at the heart of many stories is the deep sense of grief and loss, not only for the children but for the parents too. This can show up in and out of the playroom as complex trauma and a struggle with relationships. Healing involves helping children and parents connect to themselves, simultaneously asking therapists to become aware of the impact of the complexity and emotions that also arise within themselves. This course explores this complex issue.

Transgender and gender-diverse children face unique challenges in navigating their identities and experiences. Their families face challenges, too, but can often be fearful of voicing them due to worries about how others may perceive them. Clinicians are often well meaning but can do unintended harm due to the blind spots they are not aware of when working with this population. Play therapy offers a dynamic and effective approach to support these children and their families in understanding and expressing themselves in a safe and affirming environment, given the appropriate knowledge offered by the clinician. This workshop aims to equip therapists with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to provide effective and affirming play therapy for transgender and gender-diverse children - and their families!

A Synergetic Approach to Education (formerly One Foot in Education: Exploring Education Through an SPT Lens) offered by our sister institute, the Synergetic Education Institute, is a distinct and transformative approach to learning and teaching, working at the intersection of education and mental health! Synergetic educators recognize that the collaborative efforts of educators, students, classrooms, and educational systems produce a more substantial impact than individual contributions. This approach spans the landscape of working with students and perceived challenges and barriers, considering all aspects of learners and the learning environment. It incorporates neuroscience and nervous system regulation research with empowerment practices to create positive change within the immediate environment while maintaining a broader perspective using integrated and differentiated approaches. You will delve into strategies designed for educational settings that promote trauma-informed, social-emotional support within schools. You'll learn to implement these strategies as well as understand the neuroscience behind them, empowering you to support others in deepening their knowledge and awareness. You will also learn how to...- Implement approaches based on neuroscience that support the development of self-regulation skills, including critical skills that are often missing from SEL programming.
- Support educators in understanding how to prepare brains and bodies to learn, including articulating the links between neurophysiological states and classroom behaviors
- Identify the dynamics behind complex student-adult relationships and how to shift these challenging interactions.
- Increase feelings of safety and belonging for students and adults
- Implement small shifts in daily routines that include explicitly teaching critical skills using both "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches.
- Reframe “resistance” to meeting educators at their level of readiness.
- Embody Synergetic Play Therapy® principles and collaborate with teachers to empower them and shift their perceptions of students
Program Prerequisites: This program requires that you have taken a Level 1 Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy® program. This includes the completion of one of the following:- Online or In-Person Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy® program

Join us for this NEW Advanced-Level Program! Registration closes May 26, 2026, at 12pm Mountain Time (Denver)
After completing the Synergetic Play Therapy Certification program, many clinicians begin asking how to embody cultural humility and systemic awareness while honoring the model’s neurobiological and relational foundations. This advanced two-part experiential training takes that question to the next level. Building on the reflection series "Synergetic Play Therapy and Cultural Humility" and the "4 Threats and the Set Up Through a Cultural Lens", this program supports Certified Synergetic Play Therapists and Providers in expanding their application of SPT to include cultural, collective, and systemic processes that shape the playroom. During this program, participants will explore how privilege, identity, language, migration histories, and power influence the relational field and the nervous systems of both therapist and client. Through interactive experiential exercises and case-based discussions, therapists will practice tracking their own embodied responses to cultural difference, systemic tension, and moments of misattunement. This training emphasizes identifying cultural ruptures in real time, initiating culturally grounded repair using SPT’s regulation and attunement principles, and engaging the therapist’s authentic self as a culturally responsive instrument of change! By the end of the series, clinicians will hold deeper skills for promoting safety, connection, and repair with greater presence, humility, and leadership. *This program assumes a solid understanding of core SPT concepts/tenets and focuses on translating that understanding into embodied cultural engagement. As participants integrate SPT concepts/tenets with lived experience, they will strengthen their clinical presence, deepen their supervisory and teaching practices, and refine their ability to navigate cultural and systemic complexity through a culturally attuned SPT lens. Why This Training Matters Culture lives in the nervous system. Identity, stories, privilege, and systemic experiences shape how clients regulate and how therapists attune and respond. For Certified Synergetic Play Therapists/Providers, true cultural humility requires more than cognitive insight; it requires embodied awareness. This advanced-level program helps therapists integrate cultural and systemic understanding directly into the moment-to-moment attunement that defines SPT. You will learn to track cultural dynamics, recognize and repair misattunements, and strengthen safety across cultural differences. The result is a more grounded, responsive presence that honors the nervous system as both biological and cultural and expands your capacity to support healing in every playroom. 2-Part Live Webinar Series Dates: (Full attendance at both live webinars is required.)- Part 1: June 2, 2026, 2-5 PM Mountain Time (Denver)
- Part 2: June 16, 2026, 2-5 PM Mountain Time (Denver)

Renewal of the Certified Synergetic Play Therapist™ credential is required every 3 years. In order to renew, students must earn at least 18 hours of CE credits specific to SPT. Excess hours may not be rolled over into the next 3 year cycle. If CE credits are not submitted, students will no longer be able to use the title Certified Synergetic Play Therapist™ until renewal occurs. This course meets the full requirement of renewing your Certified Synergetic Play Therapist™ credential. During your Online Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy® course, you will have the opportunity to go back to the foundational understandings and tenets of SPT. Likely the first time you took your introduction to SPT course (whether it was this course or an intensive), you spent the majority of your time trying to orient towards a new way of being in the playroom while grabbing ahold of some of the details of the SPT philosophy. This is why it is so important to go back to the basics every few years (and the information gets updated too!) and now you have the opportunity to do so and fill in the missing details in your understanding and to also confirm what you have fully integrated! "SPT is the missing piece in play therapy. I gained an understanding of who I am in the playroom - a humanness that wasn't there before." -Frances Donohue Renewal Program Requirements:
- Attend and take notes on all 4 live webinars. Live attendance required.
- Complete each video module and take notes on the handouts, indicating the date you watched each module.
- Upload all of your course notes at the end of your course.
