Please note that you must agree to the best practice guidelines if you wish to use Theraplay Informed Practice or Theraplay in your work.
Theraplay® is a registered trademark and thus there are restrictions and guidelines on how to refer to your Theraplay work. Read the complete document here: Theraplay Service Mark Guidelines
After completing Level One, Level Two or Group Theraplay training, you may say that you are using Theraplay® Informed Practice. The same is true for those working towards or having completed Foundational and Intermediate certification. You must limit your Theraplay Informed Practice to the context and boundaries of your place of employment and within the remit of your role.
The Theraplay Institute cannot assume responsibility for the quality of your work. Attending training in and of itself does not bestow any status or endorsement to your work. If you are not an accredited professional, you must always have a regular supervisor and cannot use Theraplay Informed Practice in an independent setting.
Those with a Foundational or Intermediate certificate should refer to their work as Theraplay Informed Practice, but may also refer to their credential to differentiate their status from those who have simply attended training.
After the completion of the full Certified Theraplay Practitioner practicum and all other requirements for certification, you may refer to yourself as a Certified Theraplay Practitioner and your practice as Theraplay.
All certificate holders must register with The Theraplay Institute each January to attest that their qualifications and status are in good standing. More information about this will be sent to you later in the year.
