Preschoolers are amazing! And sometimes, even skilled play therapists find they are nervous about working with younger clients and their grown-ups.

Registered participants will have the opportunity to send in questions in advance of the webinar, practice with case examples, and engage in small group activities and discussions. Build your confidence, comfort, and skill in working with preschool children and their caregivers in CCPT!
