Parenting with Theraplay

Take advantage of this one-day parenting course to learn how to build a strong connection with your child from a Theraplay perspective. Theraplay is a child and family therapy focused on strengthening attachment and supporting attunement. Attuning to your child’s needs can help to reduce unwanted behaviors. You will learn and practice activities designed to engage, nurture, challenge, and provide structure to your child. So come prepared to play!

If you are a parent or caregiver of a child under the age of 12, this course is designed for you. Insights from the course and modifications to activities can be applied to older children as well.

Light refreshments will be provided. 

This one-day event will take place on Saturday, 3rd December from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. at UCCI in the Cascade Room. Limited spaces available! Please email edu@alexpantonfoundation.ky to register your place.

Mandy Jones, M.S.W., J.D., L.C.S.W., R.P.T., will be a guest speaker at the event. Mandy is a Certified Theraplay Practitioner, Trainer, and Supervisor-in-Training. She is also the Executive Director at The Theraplay Institute. Mandy has worked almost exclusively with adoptive and foster families since she began her career. She takes a particular interest in helping families with young children form strong attachments and work through sensory concerns.
