Last week, counsellors from Family Service Saskatchewan’s Rapid Access Counselling for Children, Youth, and their Caregivers gathered from across the province for two days of training on play and sand tray therapy with Tammy Schamuhn from the Institute of Child Psychology.

Sand tray therapy is a powerful tool used in play therapy, beneficial for children, teens, and even adults. It allows clients to use creativity and symbolic representation to explore their feelings when expressing emotions verbally is difficult.

Through sand tray therapy, clients can process trauma, express themselves non-verbally, and build their own narratives in a safe, creative space. It’s also highly effective in family therapy, where each family member can create their own “story” within the tray, offering insight into their dynamics and connections.

If you or someone you know could benefit from free counselling, Family Service Sask’s Rapid Access Counselling Program for Children, Youth, and their Caregivers is available to book online at www.communityconnectsask.ca
