Level One Theraplay & MIM
Level One Theraplay & MIM is a four-day training designed to teach the basics for participants to begin using Theraplay techniques in their work with existing and new clients. Clinicians who work with traumatized children, children with severe attachment issues, or very complicated family situations should plan on taking additional training or receiving supervision before using Theraplay with these clients. Beginners should use Theraplay techniques first with less complicated cases. Group Theraplay training may be available as an add-on training for select Level One programs.
