Description:
Transgender students exist in every school district, county, city and town in the United States. Recent school surveys and other research tells us that 3% of students identify as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth. After attending this play therapy workshop, participants will be able to apply their therapeutic tools that they already have, identify new interventions for working with Transgender youth and their families and compile local resources in the KC metro area that support this community.
Objectives:
- Participants of this workshop will analyze the history and philosophies of gender and gender expression through a play therapy lens.
- Participants of this workshop will apply academic evidence about the importance of gender expression to the value, worth and importance it holds in the playroom.
- Participants of this workshop will discuss and demonstrate how using culturally sensitive language when working with transgender and gender non-conforming clients increases the therapeutic alliance in the play therapy setting.
- Participants of this workshop will be able to demonstrate at least 6-8 play therapy activities for working with transgender and gender non-conforming children and their families.
- Participants of this workshop will create a plan on how to use the World Professional Association for Transgender Health Standards of Care in order to increase their overall clinical effectiveness in the playroom.
- Participants of this workshop will assess and compile a list of local resources and developmental play therapy practices related to transgender and gender non-conforming clients for immediate use in their clinical and/or play therapy practice.
