Lipscomb University Center for Play Therapy & Expressive Arts Annual Conference

This highly experiential training is designed for mental health professionals and graduate students interested in learning how to incorporate the therapeutic powers of play into counseling with teenagers and adults.

Participants will be introduced to materials and protocols for facilitating sandtray and expressive art sessions along with multiple opportunities for hands-on practice.

Day 1 will cover an Introduction to Sandtray and Expressive Arts and provide participants with foundational knowledge of facilitating sandtray and other expressive art approaches in play therapy with teenagers and adults. This training is ideal for participants with no prior training in sandtray therapy, expressive arts, or play therapy.

Day 2 will provide an exploration of how to utilize the therapeutic powers of play and music in counseling with teenagers and adults. This workshop is designed for participants who have had some prior training in integrating play or expressive arts into counseling, which could include participation in Day 1. During lunch on Day 2, Lipscomb Clinical Mental Health Counseling Alumni are invited to join us for a casual time of re-connection. We will provide lunch, or you are welcome to bring your own if you have specific dietary needs.
