Empower Black, Indigenous and People of Color with your donation.
Help us provide financial aid to BIPOC professionals for Theraplay training and certification. We strive to bring diversity to our Practitioner population and the communities we serve because everyone deserves to experience the power of play.
“Less than 25% of the 200,000 therapists licensed in the United States identify as People of Color.”
We recognize this lack of diversity in the broader mental health field is present even in our own Theraplay community of practitioners. Help us raise a $10,500 BIPOC Scholarship Fund to bridge this gap.
Our 2022-2023 Impact
In the first year for our dedicated scholarship fund, we were able to provide scholarships totaling $4,650 for eight BIPOC mental health practitioners pursuing Theraplay training and certification.
Training
Six received $2,900 towards Theraplay training.
Certification
Two received $1,750 towards Theraplay certification.
The Theraplay Institute provides professional training and certification in Theraplay, a dyadic child and family therapy that has been recognized by the Association of Play Therapy as one of the seminal psychotherapies for children.
