TRAUMA PLAY THERAPY
|
Play therapy is provided to children (4 to 18 years) from disadvantaged communities who have suffered trauma such as sexual abuse, molestation, bereavement, domestic violence, exposure to violence, accidents, illness and abandonment.
The therapy takes place in a safe environment and involves play techniques in order to assist the children to integrate their experiences and move towards emotional healing. An important aspect of this process is to encourage, support and teach parents and family members how to help their traumatised children. |
