Play Therapy

Play therapy at Family Gateway helps a homeless child learn to organize his/her experiences and personal world.  During the process of play, children who have lived through trauma and chaos experience the new feeling of being in control.  Play therapy empowers children to accept and respect themselves and others.

Family Gateway’s play therapists use crafts, music, and other creative activities to engage children and encourage them to heal the psychological effects of homelessness.
