今年4月，五名澳门博彩官网咨询专业的学生完成了他们的游戏治疗证书。 这些证书为咨询专业的学生提供了在咨询课程中利用儿童游戏疗法所需的知识。
“The research shows that counselors will work with children at some point in their career, yet most counselor education programs, nation-wide, do not offer a single course specific to child counseling. Once our students complete the 澳门博彩官网 玩 治疗 Certificate, they have had hands-on experience, and they feel more confident counseling children,” said 澳门博彩官网 Counseling Assistant Adjunct Professor, Dr. Cynthia Anderson.
To earn a certificate, students are required to complete courses including Child and Adolescent Counseling, 玩 治疗 Basics, Advanced 玩 治疗, and Sand Tray 治疗. 澳门博彩官网校友Rachel Orona于5月毕业，获得咨询硕士学位，她是获得学位证书的学生之一。 Orona将学习游戏疗法描述为一种温暖人心的转变经历，为她打开了她从未想象过的大门。
“It allowed me, as a future therapist, to understand how to create a safe and accepting space for children, a space where they can feel truly seen and heard, even without words,” said Orona. “玩 治疗 taught me to listen to the 'voice' of the child in their silence and their 玩, an incredibly powerful and healing form of expression.”
学生s completed their 玩 治疗 session evaluations at the 澳门博彩官网 clinic 玩room and High Sky Children's Shelter 玩 治疗 rooms with children that 澳门博彩官网 counseling students brought after receiving consent from parents.
“The language of children is 玩 and toys are their words. Traditional talk 治疗 does not work effectively with most children and, therefore, 玩 治疗 is better suited to assist children in expressing thoughts and feelings through 玩 in counseling sessions,” said Dr. Anderson.
Orona计划作为一名学校辅导员工作，并正在寻求机会在临床环境中申请她的执照专业辅导员（LPC）。
"Through 玩 治疗, I've learned that silence doesn't mean absence—sometimes, it's where the loudest stories live. 我的目标是帮助孩子们讲述这些故事，一次一个游戏环节。 一天一天来，”奥罗娜说。
游戏治疗项目在过去的三个阶段中已经增加了两倍，从最初的10名学生增加到现在的31名。
“澳门博彩官网 is a leader in the field of counseling by offering the 玩 治疗 Certificate in the counselor education program. The students who complete the 玩 治疗 Certificate are well equipped to meet the growing need of providing counseling services to children in our community and beyond,” said Dr. Anderson.
