Happy Tuesday! Please tell us about your upcoming workshops and latest play therapy news, information, and resources in the comments below.

Today and tomorrow, we honor Día de Mu***os (Day of the Dead), a meaningful tradition rooted in Mexican and broader Latin American cultural practices that celebrates the lives of loved ones who have passed away. More than a day of remembrance, it is a beautiful expression of love, family, connection, and cultural identity. It reminds us that remembering is also a way of keeping stories, traditions, and relationships alive across generations.

As play therapists, we know that children often communicate, explore, and make meaning of big feelings through play. Honoring cultural traditions and creating space for children to share memories can be meaningful ways to support connection, expression, and conversations about grief and loss. 💛

Today, we celebrate the beauty of remembrance, the power of storytelling, and the many ways love continues to connect us.
