Welcome!
The North Texas Chapter of the Texas Association of Play Therapy (NTC-TAPT) wants you to know about what is available to help support you in your important work with children. Our membership includes school counselors, licensed professional counselors, psychologists, and social workers. Even graduate students completing their degrees to become school counselors or agency/private practitioners are active members of NTC-TAPT.
Let me tell you about us and see if I can entice you to come to a meeting and see if what we have to offer is of value to you professionally and personally.
We strive to offer a variety of professional trainings to meet the needs of our membership. CEU’s are offered at the majority of our meetings. A membership form is enclosed for your convenience. Membership runs from August 1 – July 31, so this is a good time to join to receive the most benefits.
We are part of the Texas Association of Play Therapy and the Association of Play Therapy. You do not have to join TAPT or APT to be a member of NTC-TAPT, however, there are benefits to joining these associations.
Our meetings are centrally located in Coppell, Texas. The Coppell YMCA on Denton Tap Road is easy access to most major freeways. Meetings begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. and end promptly at 1:00 p.m. Snacks are provided.
We meet year-round, except in July. Our meetings are the 2nd (second) Saturday each month. As busy people, we recognize what a commitment you make to set aside one Saturday each month.
Our membership is full of friendly, caring, and very knowledgeable people. Even though the trainings are valuable, the friendships and professional support you will receive from your fellow members will give you a positive emotional lift each and every month!
In April 2008, the TAPT conference is in Dallas. Our Chapter will be active in supporting this conference, so this is a great time to join and meet colleagues from all over the state. Then in October 2008, the Association of Play Therapy Conference will be in Dallas. Many opportunities await you to meet others who share your love of working with children. If we have your email address, you will receive notification about our monthly trainings. We hope you will join us very soon!
Sincerely,
Kelly Webb Ferebee, Ph.D.
