🌍✨ We’re thrilled to share that Monika Jephcott, CEO of PTUK and President of PTI, along with our PTUK Executive Director and PTUK Registrar, Rochelle Rajan, had the incredible opportunity to attend this year’s PT Asia Conference at the stunning Swiss-BelResort in Pecatu, Bali! This year’s theme, “Deeply Connected Through Play”, captured the essence of our work and passion. Monika and Rochelle were deeply inspired by the energy and ideas shared across borders, and Monika remarked on the “amazing power of face-to-face connection and the incredible impact of sharing insights on global play therapy.” Rochelle echoed these sentiments, emphasising how “coming together in person renews our commitment to creating safe, nurturing spaces for children everywhere.” A heartfelt thank you to the PT Asia community for an unforgettable experience! #ptasia #playtherapyinternational #2024conference #ptaconference #playtherapyasia #celebrate #thankyou

🎉🎉🎉 Workshop Wednesday 🎉🎉🎉 As we approach the 2024 Online Conference we will be delving deeper into our workshops that will be running on the day. Today we look at Work Shop 1. https://lnkd.in/eZk24RpM WS1: Beyond the Playroom: Innovation into Therapeutic Practice Eileen Russell WORKSHOP In this workshop, Eileen will guide you through one of her most significant projects, focused on helping children deal with loss. She will provide a realistic view of how long it can take to bring an innovative project to life. Using play therapy techniques, she’ll explore ways to support and inspire other play therapists to develop their own creative ideas. The project, "A New Day For Little Bear," is an animation designed to support children who have experienced loss, and this session will encourage you to start generating your own ideas and thoughts. BIO Founder of WayMaker Child Therapy CIC, a not-for-profit organisation based in Northern Ireland, WayMaker is dedicated to ensuring that every child has access to essential play therapy support. With nearly two decades of strategic involvement in children's services, Eileen brings a wealth of experience and is committed to making a difference in the lives of young ones. Her journey has been marked by a passion for innovation and a deep appreciation for the power of play in fostering holistic development and innovating therapeutic techniques beyond the playroom. #ptuk #pti #playtherapy #playtherapyuk #playtherapyinternational #conference #online #workshop #joinus #booktoday
