APT Leadership Academy provided me with an amazing opportunity to develop and deepen my understanding of the inner workings of APT, its structure, and its mission. An invaluable experience, where I enjoyed learning alongside my peers under the guidance of current APT leadership. I also learned about myself as a leader, and how I can contribute to APT. As a result, I am even more excited about and appreciative of the diligence and commitment of APT to its members and ultimately the children and families touched by play therapy. - Amy Williams Long, PhD, LPC, RPT-S, (CO)
“I really enjoyed Leadership Academy and
learning new things about leadership. What I appreciated the most was the support and acceptance from my colleagues, and the expertise that our leaders offered to us. I learned so much from my class members, and enjoyed using my creativity as we worked on the projects together. The “culture” of the class is very welcoming and non-judgmental.”
-Jana Dobesova, MA, LPC-MHSP, RPT (TN)”
