Powers of Play

International Play Therapy Week is February 2-8, 2025, and we are raising awareness of play’s healing and transformative power!

Join us in the Art Studio using all sorts of materials to create yourself as a superhero!

Local registered play therapists and children’s mental health clinicians will be available for conversation offering information about play therapy and how it can support children and families in working toward stronger emotional wellness.

Through play, children communicate their thoughts, feelings, and needs. Play therapy encourages open communication, allowing children to express themselves and learn about themselves and their world. It promotes emotional well-being, models emotional regulation, enhances social relationships, builds empathy, increases self-esteem, fosters resilience, and encourages creative problem-solving. Play along with us!

“In play therapy toys are viewed as the child’s words and play as the child’s language”. – Garry Landreth
