LUPINE Wellness Center is proud to host its first annual Play Therapy Symposium, an event designed to both support the continued growth of local play therapists and raise funds to support LUPINE and our programs. All services at LUPINE are provided either free (for A-State students and select therapy groups) or at low-cost via our sliding fee scale. Funds raised go directly to supporting our work to provide accessible, affirming mental health services and high-quality training experiences for future clinicians.
This event offers valuable professional development opportunities for mental health professionals (independent and provisionally licensed) and students interested in play therapy. Participants will gain A-State University approved* and Play Therapy Approved Provider contact/live continuing education credits that count toward the Registered Play Therapist (and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor) credential/credential renewal.
NOTE: CE credit is only available to those in Mental Health field. Administrators, educators, parents, and general population are welcome to attend but may not find the content as relevant as other events promoted by LUPINE, and may not receive Play Therapy education credits toward the Registered Play Therapist credential.
*If using CE credits for mental health license, check with your individual licensing board to ensure they recognize A-State University and/or Association for Play Therapy Approved Provider status as acceptable CE.
