*New Date* One Day Group Theraplay® in Grand Rapids, MI

Group Theraplay® is an adult-directed, structured play group that incorporates playful, cooperative and nurturing activities that enhance the emotional well-being of children. Unlike other play group approaches, Theraplay learning takes place on a non-verbal level. Instead of talking about positive social behavior, the group leaders and children *do* positive social interaction. Positive messages from the group interaction gradually become a part of the child’s internal sense of self.
If you are a professional working in classrooms, day cares, residential settings or with family groups, this training is for you.
This training will take place a day after the Level One Theraplay & MIM training May 5-7, 2026. Those not participating in the Level One are still welcome to participate so long as they have completed the prerequisites by the day of the training.
Prerequisites for One Day Group Theraplay - Level One Theraplay & MIM or Theraplay Modules 1 & 2.
