SUMMARY:AIRS Keynote Presentation- Leadership Starts with You: Becoming Your Business's Emotional Regulator
DESCRIPTION:The focus of this 1 hour keynote presentation is to inspire leaders to understand the critical role they play in the health and well-being of their organization in a way that they may have never considered.  That they are indeed the “emotional regulator” for their teams and staff\, helping ground the organization itself and the individuals working in it.  They will be invited to view their organization through the lens of neuroscience and nervous system regulation\, as they learn about the brain\, stress\, and the impact their own nervous system activation has on others and even on the growth of the organization.  Most importantly\, they will be inspired as they learn about self care\, the management of their own internal states\, their ability to regulate other’s emotions and how to help the organization stay steady.  The result of this powerful keynote presentation is a deeper awareness of what self care for themselves and their staff really is and ultimately\, what it means to be a leader. \n

SUMMARY:MD/CD APT Workshop: Healing Medical Trauma in Play Therapy
DESCRIPTION:In this 6-hour workshop\, play therapists will explore medical trauma from the perspective of neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology while drawing from Gestalt Play Therapy\, Synergetic Play Therapy and Nature Based Play principles.  Using creative play-based ways to support children and their family’s healing process\, participants will learn how to create emotional and relational safety for trauma integration.  They will learn what it means to become a child’s external regulator to help integrate the activation in a child’s nervous system while safely allowing the child to access the stored trauma in their body from the medical trauma. As children are not the only ones affected by medical trauma\, care for their caregivers will also be addressed\, as well as an exploration of creative play-based ways to help the entire family system heal.   \nIn addition to learning about medical trauma and its symptoms\, this workshop will also explore the difference between the role of a play therapist and the role of a Child Life Specialist in a medical setting allowing play therapists a greater knowledge in knowing how and when to collaborate with the medical team if a child is going to be experiencing a medical procedure or if the child is in on-going medical care. \nIf you would like your school or organization to receive training\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com

SUMMARY:Play Therapy with Pre-Teens and Teens: Workshop - New York APT Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa at the 2021 New York APT Conference!  \nFrom twelve-year-olds to seniors in high school\, adolescence is a time filled with change. This can make the notion of bringing play therapy to this population a challenge.  Do we play? Do we talk?  Using neuroscience\, developmental theory and Synergetic Play Therapy® theory\, participants will explore these questions along with what is the most important goal when working with this population\, how to maximize engagement in sessions\, how to work with older children using directive and non-directive play techniques\, the role of the play therapist during this important developmental phase\, and how to turn the awkwardness into authenticity and healing. \n\nDescribe why it is important not to have a script for when to apply directive and non-directive play therapy interventions with pre-teens and teens\nDiscuss the importance of assessing the pre-teen or teen’s emotional age in the play therapy process\nExplain the most important goal when applying play therapy to your work with pre-teens and teens\n\nGet more info or sign up here.

SUMMARY:Crofton House School Private Training: Becoming Your Child's External Regulator for Conflict Resolution (Closed Training)
DESCRIPTION:Becoming your child’s external regulator for conflict resolution:\n\nAs children work through the challenges and conflicts in their lives\, learning how to self-regulate is a requirement for effective conflict resolution.  However\, children aren’t born understanding how to self-regulate and navigate challenges well.  The capacity for self-regulation is learned over time and often relies on the adults around them.  This 1.5 hour presentation will help parents begin to understand what it takes to help their children increase their self-regulation and navigate the waters of conflict that they will inevitably face as they grow up.\n\nIf you would like your school or organization to receive training\, please contact the Institute at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com
