CREATING A VIRTUAL PLAYROOM - ONLINE SKILLS TRAINING

Working online introduces a myriad of digital options for creating meaningful and transformative experiences in therapy. With millions of images, games and interventions available, therapists also face the challenge of creating containment, boundaries and continuity online, and to do all of this without the use of a shared physical space. 

Recently, many teachers have become skilled in presenting their lessons and linking their online resources to students who are not in a traditional classroom. The Virtual Playroom can be adapted and used in the same way, to form a bridge between the real and virtual world, helping young therapy clients to visualise a ‘holding environment’ and to engage with their thoughts, feelings and needs.

This workshop is a beginner’s guide to exploring the tools and techniques you need to create your Virtual Playroom.
