SPECIAL SECTION International
Play Therapy Week February 5-11, 2023
As the play therapy community continues to grow, so do awareness efforts. As such, APT became the first association to join the International Consortium of Play Therapy Associations (IC-PTA). The IC-PTA’s mission is to promote the quality and integrity of play therapy and its therapeutic powers. Aligned with this mission, we are pleased to introduce International Play Therapy Week!
The following associations will join the celebration and help share the importance of play, play therapists, and credentialed play therapists with the world:
Help Spread the Word!
Here are a few ideas to celebrate International Play Therapy Week: • Present a workshop on play therapy. • Share FREE “Why Play Therapy?” brochures from the APT Store – available in English, Spanish, and French!
• Share the Foundation for Play Therapy’s “Why Play Therapy?” pediatrician brochure with medical professionals and the “Why Play Therapy?” counseling brochure with school professionals.
• Arrange for a colleague or yourself to be interviewed to highlight play therapy.
• Invite a news station to an event celebrating International Play Therapy Week.
• Highlight your activities on social media by using #playtherapyweek2023
• Share photos/videos of play therapy week celebrations from your community – Zoom screenshots welcomed!
