2012 should be a very exciting time both for the association and for the world. We are to expect great things with upcoming newsletters, workshops, committees, and our Annual Spring Conference. Please send any suggestions for material to be entered into the newsletter as we are always interested in what our members are up to and of course interested in!

We are also in need of some volunteers to help us with our membership committee. Our newly created membership committee is determined to redesign our membership incentives and we would love to hear your suggestions. As for our Spring Conference, the entire board is excited and so should you be... we are Co-Hosting the conference with the Canadian Association for Child and Play Therapy and look forward to a fresh line up of presenters including topics in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (evidence based play therapy), Jungian therapy, art therapy, drumming therapy, Hope- trauma focused, and some topics for students or professionals looking to certify in Play Therapy!
