Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a legacy of increased poverty and widening inequality. Children and youth are disproportionately impacted by poverty, making up 33% of all impoverished individuals. Living in low-income households has been associated with poor health, emotional dysregulation, and increased risk for mental health problems. After viewing this recording, you will learn play therapy clinical practices to support improved emotional regulation in academic, social, and community settings among children and youth living in poverty.
