Play Therapy: What is it and how can it help my child?

Wed, Jun 1, 2016 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM EDT

In this webinar, Dr. Martinez will discuss the differences between traditional talk psychotherapy and play therapy. She will review some of the history and theories of play therapy, and discuss how and when play therapy might be beneficial to children, adolescents, and even adults. Dr. Martinez will discuss credentials that play therapists might hold, as well as how someone might locate play therapists if they were interested in doing so.

We are a nation of immigrants

As a social worker I have an ethical obligation to fight for social justice.  So, today I was proud to stand with ICE FREE NJ at the Federal Building to send our elected officials the message that it is unacceptable to deport people to their deaths.
