CPRT &
FILIAL THERAPY

When children have problems, sometimes they don’t have the words to talk about them. Play gives children a way to communicate feelings they don’t understand or can’t express any other way. Play therapy has been shown to be an effective intervention with children for a variety of behavioral and emotional difficulties.

Child-Parent-Relationship Training (CPRT) – also called Filial Therapy – is a research-based, 10- 12week parenting program that teaches parents how to use some of the same skills that play therapists use to help children experiencing social, emotional or behavioral problems.

that can be arranged.
