🌿 Building Community Beyond the Training Room -

One of the most meaningful parts of being a therapist is realizing that we don't have to do this work alone.

Whether we've connected through a training, consultation group, supervision, conference, or online community, let's continue supporting one another, sharing resources, celebrating wins, and learning together.

✨ Drop your social media handle in the comments!
✨ Tell us where you're located and what populations you love working with.
✨ Follow a few fellow therapists while you're here.

Let's create a space where therapists can find collaboration, inspiration, referrals, consultation opportunities, and genuine connection.

Because community is not just something we help our clients build it's something we need, too. 💙

Throwback Thursdays: ✨ Looking Back at KPop Demon Hunters:
A Play Therapy & Mental Health Webinar Series: Ghost to Gold" ✨

We love hearing what participants took away from "Ghost to Gold: Rumi's Journey of Voice, Belonging and Identity through Play Therapy!"

💬 “Learning about Adlerian theory and how to apply it through play was eye-opening.”

That’s what we hope for in every training—taking theory off the page and transforming it into meaningful, practical ways to connect with clients through play. 💛

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this creative and powerful training! Check it out on-demand https://www.anewhopeacademy.org/kpop

Did you know that our Play Academy now offers an online-only track? This means you can join our force from wherever you happen to be - how horizontal you choose to be is up to you!

This option gives you essential components of the Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT™) credentialing process, plus support along the way.

What does the online route look like? It's broken down into 8-month phases, and each includes:

🧠 Monthly online supervision with one of our legendary supervisors
💬 3 hours of online group supervision
🗺️ 2 hours of personalized consultation with Maria Laquerre-Diego to map out your RPT™ pathway
💻 25–30 online CEs, where you can log in from wherever you choose

Please note that to be eligible for the RPT™ credential, you’ll still need at least 75 contact CE hours obtained through in-person interactive trainings, which you’ll need to pursue independently.

🎮 Gamers, We Need Your Help! 🕹️

Can you help us on our quest to discover ethical, independent video game retailers to champion and build meaningful partnerships with?

We want to connect with amazing businesses in the gaming world, helping them reach new audiences while bringing exciting offers and resources to our community.

We’re especially interested in discovering BIPOC, women, and/or LGBTQIA+ owned businesses helping make gaming culture more inclusive, welcoming, and vibrant.

Know a video game retailer we should know about? We’d love to hear from you! Comment below or email [email protected].

💛 Help us find our people.
