Play Therapy Indonesia

We are delighted that we will be covering ‘Touch’ as the theme of the 2019 Play Therapy Asia Conference as it is a socially sensitive area but at the same time the use of appropriate touch is a valuable addition to our skills as play therapists, mental health professionals, educators and parents. It is such an important element in our work with children, yet complex in the application due to ethical and cultural values. We are very excited to be able to present the world’s foremost speakers on the subject, Dr. Janet Courtney. Dr. Courtney who will be the keynote presenter to talk about the practice-based application of touch.
