Play Therapy is growing across the world and more clinicians are using the therapeutic powers of play in their schools, agencies, practices, and communities.

Last year, CAPT joined the International Consortium of Play Therapy Associations (IC-PTA) to help promote and celebrate Play Therapy across Canada. with our very first International Play Therapy Week!

CAPT has announced that during International Play Therapy Week,  February 4 to 11, 2024, we will celebrate the value, efficacy, and importance of play therapy in Canada.  Specifically, keeping in mind the current state of the world, we will provide support to those called to work with children and families suffering from the negative impacts of living in and escaping from high conflict war zones.

 Isabella Cassina (Lugano, Switzerland) and Claudio Mochi, (Rome, Italy), friends of CAPT and world-renowned specialists in this work, have graciously agreed to present the following 6 hour on-line training on February 10, 2024. Don’t miss out on this important opportunity.
