Whether you’re collecting treasures on a nature walk, creating land art, practicing mindful observation, or incorporating sensory experiences outdoors, simple moments in nature can have a meaningful therapeutic impact.

What are your favorite nature-based play therapy activities? We’d love to hear them in the comments! 🍃💛

CAPT was honored to host a resource table at the Grief Networking Alliance (GNA) Resource Fair hosted by HeartLight Center today.

It was wonderful connecting with grief support organizations, healthcare professionals, community partners, and service providers who are all working to support individuals and families navigating loss. We enjoyed sharing information about play therapy and the important role it can play in helping children and families process grief and build resilience.

Thank you to HeartLight Center and the Grief Networking Alliance for bringing together so many dedicated professionals and organizations committed to strengthening grief support throughout Colorado. We are grateful to be part of such a compassionate community.

Play therapy can help children build emotional flexibility, problem-solving skills, and confidence as they navigate transitions into summer routines, camps, vacations, and new family dynamics. Small moments of predictability, movement, co-regulation, and playful connection can make a big difference during seasons of change. 🌿☀️
