About the Workshop

Ending Well is Part of the Healing

Termination is a crucial aspect of any therapy process and can be difficult for both client and therapist. However, when done successfully, the end of therapy can be a positive experience with a long-lasting impact. Termination is an opportunity for closure — and for client and therapist to review the personal growth that has unfolded over the course of treatment.

Termination in a Play Therapy setting can be especially complex. Children may experience endings differently due to their developmental stage, past experiences, and existing relationships. For children who have experienced loss, trauma, or other adverse life experiences, termination can be particularly triggering. This workshop equips practitioners with the knowledge and practical tools to navigate this process thoughtfully with both child clients and their caregivers.

What Is This Workshop?

A 1-hour on-demand workshop covering the principles and practice of termination in Play Therapy — including procedures, activities, and how to navigate the end of treatment with both child clients and their caregivers.

Who Is It For?

Mental health professionals, Play Therapists, clinicians, counselors, and social workers who work with children and want to strengthen their approach to ending the therapeutic relationship effectively.
