With divorce and separation being a common occurrence it’s likely you have clients from all phases of divorce entering your playroom. 

​The families that have been divorced for years BUT are still doing the job of parenting (sometimes effectively, and sometimes…..not so much).  The families that are seeking support to tell their children about the divorce and want the powers of play therapy to support their children through all the upcoming changes. The families that are in the middle of heated custody battles AND the families where parents are together but divorce is looming on the horizon.
Yup - in your playroom you see it all. 

AND working with families of divorce and separation can be a struggle.  There are so many nuanced issues that come up that leave you feeling like you need more support.  

Well my friend, bookmark this link because I wanted to share my top 8 resources you need to add to your toolbox when working with divorce and separation in the playroom!
