International Play Therapy Week 2026
Monday February 2nd 2026 - Friday February 6th 2026
8am-9am PST
We love play therapy at the Redwood Center for Children and Families!
And in honor of international play therapy week...
...Jen will be hosting fireside coffee chats every day from 8-9 AM PST!
Wherever you are, grab your hot drinks and meet with Jen for a fireside chat about play therapy.
Each hour will consist of one lecture/activity about things we need to know as play therapists, caregivers, people who love children, and anyone who wants to work for child liberation, followed by a discussion and q&a about play therapy.
She will be hosting two free live sessions on TikTok and Instagram, and three smaller, paid sessions via Zoom.
See the week's schedule and how to register below!
These live meetings are not meant to be a therapeutic case consultation, parent consultation or clinical advice, and do not count toward any clinical hours.
