Providing psychotherapy to children necessitates that we also partner with their parents. For some child therapists, this can be intimidating, overwhelming and their least favorite part of their work. In this training, we’ll learn that working with caregivers can be rich, creative, fruitful and even fun. We will draw from the work of Paris Goodyear-Brown and her innovative book, “Parents as Partners in Child Therapy.”

Upon payment and full participation in the course, you will receive 5.5 contact APT CE credits and a certificate of completion. APT provider #07-204
