LIVE WEBINAR

Presenters will discuss cultural considerations in the work with Latinx children and teens and strategies that they have found effective by clinical observation and client feedback such as the use of analogies to assist with history taking, preparation, and reprocessing phases of EMDR therapy. Presenters will utilize three principles as guidelines for play therapy interventions: (1) Follow the child’s lead and interest; (2) Be curious, ask questions and maintain an open attitude; (3) Utilize and emphasize cultural and individual strengths.
