Our members are mental health professionals who use play therapy in their practices with children, adolescents and families.
 
Our Mission is to:
  • Promote the understanding and valuing of play and play therapy.
  • Promote the effective practice of play therapy through training, research, and support.

  • Promote the development and maintenance of a strong professional organization to accomplish these objectives.

We  work with many area Universities and Organizations to provide over 100  hours of APT approved Play Therapy instruction annually throughout New  England.
We  work with APT to support the credentialing and re-credentialing of  Registered Play Therapists and Registered Play Therapy-Supervisors as  well as to increase the awareness of play therapy in the professional  and public realms.
