Grief in Play Therapy: Learning to Play in the Midst of Loss – Live Webinar
Description:
There are no happy endings. Endings are the saddest part, so just give me a happy middle and a very happy start” -Shel Silverstein
Grief is sweeping the world at a rapid rate! Its signs are evident through the screens of our therapy sessions. It does not discriminate against age, race, gender or religion.

There is a green light on the other side of this red light! #thisisnottheend
