Free Play Therapy Training CEUs

Free Play Therapy Training CEUs
Table of contents

If you're looking for FREE play therapy CEUs, you've come to the right place. This post is intended to be an ongoing list of free play therapy training. As a play therapist in training myself, I know that training and supervision to become a play therapist can get pricey. While it's likely not possible to get all of the training you need for very cheap or free, I think it's important for options to be made available for low-cost training, especially for new therapists who may not have a fully established income or practice.

I'll break this list down into ongoing, always-available “non-contact” CEU training and Live training. If you have any training you would like to have added to this list, please email vpruitt@clearwatercounselingne.org and I will get it added. I also plan to list availability for low or no-cost supervision hours, so please email me if you offer any kind of discounted or low-cost rates for play therapy supervision.

PS: If you need help tracking your hours and CEU, I highly recommend this free tracking spreadsheet based on the 3 phases of certification.
