The Graduate Certificate in Play Therapy at Concordia University trains students to intervene therapeutically with children using a comprehensive, multimodal approach. The programme comprises five core courses providing evidence-based, hands-on training in play therapy, including supervised practice sessions working directly with children. Courses are taught as one-week intensives, one course per week, running from May to June, with four days of class and one reflection or reading day per week. The credential requires a minimum of 15 credits, runs for about two months, and starts in the Summer term on the Sir George Williams campus. It suits practitioners in psychology, social work, education, or related mental-health and educational fields who want focused, applied training in play therapy techniques.
