Play is a child’s natural language, and in the hands of a trained professional it can become a powerful tool for growth and healing. Play therapy incorporates developmentally appropriate and research-informed approaches that help children express emotions, process experiences, and build resilience in ways that words alone cannot.

VCU Continuing and Professional Education offers play therapy continuing education workshops that explore foundational theories, practical techniques, and creative interventions for working with children in therapeutic and school-based settings. VCU Continuing and Professional Education is an Association for Play Therapy (APT) Approved Provider 15-397.
