Pro Bono Counseling and Half Price Groups for Flood Victims
- Posted on May 11, 2010
- In light of the historic flooding in Nashville, Restore Ministries would like to offer support to those affected by flooding through small group and counseling services. If you were affected by the flood, please contact Meghan Smith at (615) 565-6278 or mhsmith@ymcamidtn.org and she can register you for a Restore small group at 1/2 off or enroll you in counseling for no cost. We want to be a place where you can find support, encouragement and community.
Play Therapy
Restore offers play therapy for children ages 3 -12. Children's natural language is play and this is the medium of self expression they are most comfortable with. Play therapy is a well established discipline based upon a number of psychological theories. Research, both qualitative and quantitative shows that it is highly effective in many cases. Recent research suggests that 71% of the children referred to play therapy will show a positive change. A safe, confidential and caring environment is created which allows the child to play with as few limits as possible but as many as necessary (for physical and emotional safety). This allows healing to occur on many levels following our natural inner trend towards health. Play and creativity often operate on impulses from outside our awareness, therefore it allows children to work on a deep emotional level that they would otherwise not have words to express.
The child is given strategies to cope with difficulties they face in life and which they themselves cannot change. It provides a more positive view of their future life.
