Theraplay

The Theraplay® Institute (TTI) is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building strong families and emotionally healthy children and adults through Theraplay training and treatment. TTI is an international training institute that provides training for mental health professionals, parents, and teachers. At our clinic in Chicago, we offer clinical therapy services to address a multitude of mental health and behavioral challenges for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. This documentary short talks about the origins and benefits of Theraplay.
Theraplay® is an evidence-based dyadic child and family therapy that has been recognized by the Association of Play Therapy as one of seven seminal psychotherapies for children. Theraplay is practiced around the world and was developed for any professional working to support healthy child/caregiver attachment. Strong attachment between the child and the important adults in their life has long been believed to be the basis of lifelong good mental health as well as the mainstay of resilience in the face of adversity. Modern brain research and the field of neuroscience have shown that attachment is the way in which children come to understand, trust and thrive in their world.
