In play therapy practice, we are often provided with the beautiful opportunity to work with clients of diverse populations. Play therapists must have self-awareness of their own perceptions and biases and an understanding of their own and others’ cultures; they must understand how culture may impact the lives of clients and the play therapy process and be equipped with tools, skills, and knowledge to provide competent and culturally sensitive treatment. The play therapist must become culturally competent in order to most effectively manage cultural components within the treatment process, such as addressing cultural issues that may arise or help facilitate pride in the client’s own culture.



Participants will achieve success in the following learning objectives:


  1. Participants will explore the history of how cultural considerations have been utilized within psychotherapy practices and play therapy
  2. Participants will discuss the role that self-awareness has in providing culturally competent play therapy
  3. Participants will learn and explore the impacts of cultural bias, perceptions, and understanding of culture in the practice of play therapy
  4. Participants will identify the impact culture has on clients and the play therapy process
  5. Participants will discuss tools, skills, and knowledge to feel better prepared in play therapy sessions for addressing cultural component
  6. Participants will practice and apply basic guidelines to play therapy practice to improve their cultural sensitivity and competence
