Friday, August 23, 2024

10-11am PT / 12-1pm CT / 1-2pm ET

Event held online via Zoom, link to access provided upon registration.

Oftentimes clinicians are not equipped with the knowledge or skills of how to work with children and their families that are impacted by medical illnesses. Children and their families go into hospitals and other medical settings for a multitude of medical needs. However, what is usually missed is the emotional component due to a lack of integration. The biopsychosocial model recognizes that there is no singularity when working with clients. There is always an interaction between social/environmental, biology, and psychology which impacts overall wellbeing.

While there is still a gap between these two respective fields, there are interventions in place that can help clinicians address their clients’ needs. This workshop will introduce and provide an overview to participants of sand tray therapy, application of the intervention, and how this can be utilized to treat families facing pediatric illness. Participants will gain knowledge on how to collaborate with additional providers to create and maintain a collaboration of care for their clients.

Zoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event registration. 

This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 1.0 CE for Psychologists, 1.0 IL CEU for Counselors and Social Workers, 1.0 BBS California CEU for LPCCs, LPSWs, and LMFTs, or 1.0 NASP CPD for School Psychologists.
