Boost Parental Involvement in Play Therapy with Attachment & Neuroscience Strategies

If you’re a play therapist or child/adolescent therapist, then you know children exist within the context of a family and parental involvement in the treatment process is important.

But do you view parents as the therapeutic agents of change for their child?

As the therapeutic agent of change for their child, parents play a critical role in the play therapy change process for co-regulation to help their children use their parents to navigate the day-to-day challenges of everyday living.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to involve parents, it’s probably because you’re not sure how to include parents in the change process or maybe you’ve struggle with getting parents to be involved consistently and in a meaningful way.

We also know from decades of research that children who have secure relationships with their parents are resilient and have a healthy sense of self. 

If you’re struggling with engaging parents in the play therapy change process then join me for this free weekly podcast, I’ll discuss how you can maximize positive outcomes in play therapy for your clients by getting better engagement from parents.
