    I thought the lecture was clear, practical, and relevant. The examples helped demonstrate how ethical challenges can arise in everyday play-therapy settings and how to respond while protecting the child’s safety, privacy, and best interests.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this training content. I will be returning to work in a school-based setting after being in private practice for the past 10 years. The instructor was very knowledgeable and I feel better prepared.
