Workshop Description:
This workshop will address how a traditional cultural game, Loteria, can be used in play therapy with the Mexican-American/Latinx population as well as clients of all cultural backgrounds. This workshop will not only discuss the relevance/significance of the game within the Mexican community but will also demonstrate various interventions to be used during play therapy with individuals and their families.
