Unlike other play group approaches, Theraplay learning takes place on a non-verbal level. Instead of talking about positive social behaviour, the group leaders and children DO positive social interaction. Positive messages from the group interaction gradually become a part of the child’s internal sense of self. \u003cbr\u003eGroup Theraplay training is for professionals who want to use Theraplay in therapeutic groups. This one-day training is for people who have taken our four-day Level One Theraplay training. \u003cbr\u003eIn this training you will be able to:\u003cbr\u003e•    Describe the four dimensions of Theraplay, a modality of play therapy\u003cbr\u003e•    Apply Theraplay play principles to group treatment\u003cbr\u003e•    Develop Theraplay skills in using the group rules and group techniques through practice\u003cbr\u003e•    Demonstrate how to adapt the use of Group Theraplay, with various populations\u003cbr\u003e•    Describe how nurturing and regulating physical connection can assist a child to feel calm and more organized in a play therapy group setting\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Theraplay®Institute website is www.theraplay.org \u003cbr\u003eAny further course enquiries contact: Petria.Thoresen@standforchildren.org.nz\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFACILITATED BY: Dr Petria Thoresen, PhD \u003c\/strong\u003eis a fully certified Theraplay® Therapist and Theraplay® Trainer.
