Play Therapy Connects Us Across Borders
Discover a global community working to strengthen play therapy and expand access for children and families worldwide.
Advancing Play Therapy Together
The International Consortium of Play Therapy Associations (IC-PTA) brings together national associations and individual play therapists from around the world. It connects professionals, supports the growth of national associations, and promotes quality, ethical play therapy practice.
CAPT is proud to be a charter member of IC-PTA, serving on its inaugural Board of Directors since October 2022. We invite CAPT members to explore individual membership and connect with colleagues across the global play therapy community.
Be Part of A Global Community
Your connection to play therapy can reach beyond Canada. IC-PTA offers opportunities to meet international colleagues, hear about their work through presentations and forums, and contribute to the growth of quality play therapy worldwide.
CAPT members are invited to consider joining IC-PTA as individual members. You can also support its work through a donation. Contributions help IC-PTA provide services/resources such as translation services that make international conversations and collaboration more accessible.
