The Missouri Association for Play Therapy (MAPT) sponsors numerous programs and services during the year. MAPT is a volunteer-member-based organization, and our workshops are rotated throughout the areas of the state so that everyone has an opportunity to have a workshop close to home.
We strongly encourage our members to share with us what topics they would like to see presented in the future. Additionally, presenters for our workshops and conferences are often selected based on their specialization and experience, and also based on demand from our members. We strongly encourage members to share with us individuals they wish to present at MAPT.
Please see our Events page for a list of all our upcoming trainings and workshops! Prices vary, and we offer many free trainings and workshops, with and without Continuing Education opportunities.
Please note that prices may vary, and the actual price of each training will be displayed in the description on the Events page!
