As the Sandplay Therapists of America conference wraps up this weekend, I thought I'd post about other informative events coming up.

Looking for a good excuse to visit the Windy City this summer? Or perhaps sunny California in the Fall? Here's a list of introductory training events being offered by The Theraplay Institute. They also offer presentations, seminars and workshops for introductory group therapy and MIM Skills Training, as well as intermediate- and advanced-level training. View the full schedule here.  Theraplay is a short-term, therapist-guided dyadic psychotherapy that focuses on parent-child relationships. Learn more at www.theraplay.org.
