What Is Play Therapy?

For children, emotions may be difficult to express verbally. Play is their universal language of communication. It is important for their development. They learn, develop and make sense of the world around them.

Play Therapy provides children with a therapeutic space to process difficult emotions, behaviour and experiences of trauma. It gives permission to therapeutically and safely explore and express their inner world and feelings, as well as also providing a space to resolve their challenges.

Benefits of play therapy:

- Access children’s difficult to express feelings and support them to express them and work through them.
- Provide a space for children to heal and recover from the impacts of trauma, at their pace, in a place where they experience unconditional positive regard.
- Gain support to develop strategies to cope with behavioural challenges, and support cognitive, social and emotional development.
- Foster empathy, deepening connection and relational growth with siblings, parents and other caregivers

Recently, we had to bid a very fond but sad farewell to our beautiful, generous and caring Senior Art Therapist 'JoJo'. After 9 years with Futures In Mind the NDIS no longer accept Jo's training and extensive experience as an Art Therapist, making it unviable for her to continue her practice with Futures. We are devastated for Jo and her clients. JoJo thank you for being our 'Mumma Bear', thank you for all the care you have given to our team and all the families you have helped along the way, and thank you for just being you. We miss you already 💚💙
