Program Description

This workshop will provide an overview of the Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT), a play-therapy model, which teaches parents Child-Centered skills to use with their own children, and address cultural adaptations when working with minoritized communities, especially Latinx families. The presenter will address integrating advocacy and cultural humility as part of the delivery of CPRT.

  4. Identify at least three Latinx cultural values that need to be integrated in the delivery of CPRT methods and skills when working with clients from this community
  5. Describe one modification to make CPRT culturally responsive to Latinx families
  6. Define oppression and its impact on clients’ socio-emotional well-being
