Play Therapy Week 
February 1–7, 2026

Play Therapy continues to grow around the world, with more clinicians using the therapeutic power of play in schools, agencies, private practices, and communities to support children and families.

CAPT proudly joined the International Consortium of Play Therapy Associations (IC-PTA) in 2024 to help promote, strengthen, and celebrate Play Therapy across Canada and globally.

This year’s theme is:

“Where Play Therapy and Creativity Collide.”

Throughout the week, we’ll be highlighting — across CAPT’s social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn) – how creativity fuels connection, healing, resilience, and expression in play therapy — and how playful, imaginative approaches deepen therapeutic impact while remaining grounded in evidence-based practice.

Interested in getting involved in your community or online with CAPT? Below are a few ways you can participate, share your work, and celebrate the power of play during IPTW 2026.
