Stand Tū Māia in partnership with The Theraplay® Institute are delighted to present the Four Day Level One & MIM Theraplay® training.
Theraplay® focuses on the parent/carer-child relationship which is the most powerful and influential element to promote healing from grief, loss and trauma. Other therapies may work primarily with the child alone or simply work with parents/carers on managing the child’s behaviours.
The Level One and MIM Theraplay® training covers:
• Principals of attachment theory on an intellectual and experiential level
• The Four Dimensions of Theraplay
• The Theraplay Protocol
• An introduction to the Marschak Interaction Method (MIM), administration, analysis and as a guide for treatment planning
This training is suitable for professionals with professional training eligible for registration with an ethical body. It is interactive, intense and practical. Level One training prepares participants to begin using Theraplay Informed practice in their work.
