MPTC’s Mission & Purpose

The mission of the Multicultural Play Therapy Center is to provide educational and supervision experiences for professional therapists in this region to support the emotional growth of children from diverse cultures through the process of play therapy. Play therapy training enables professionals to develop a therapeutic relationship with children aged 2-10 using materials and communication skills that match the developmental needs of the child.

A key part of this mission takes place at our biannual Multicultural Play Therapy Conferences, which have been held for 20+ years in January and June. In 2027, they will be held January 8-9 and June 9-15. More details about this year’s events are coming soon!
