dc.description.abstractChildhood mental health concerns are on the rise in Canada. Providing early intervention and prevention initiatives can help children, youth and families work towards positive mental health and healthy attachments. Play therapy has been shown to be an effective therapeutic intervention and can be tailored to the unique needs of each client. This paper will explore how neuroscientific research and attachment theory can be integrated into play therapy practice to further support children and youth. This paper highlights the importance of safety, developmentally appropriate interventions, psychoeducation, and neuroplasticity. Providing effective treatment to children can help reduce negative symptoms and help mitigate the long-term effects of mental health disorders.
