You've Got Mothmail!

Dear Reader`,`

First of all, hello! This year is off to a rough start for many and I've been uncertain about what to write or offer, but I wanted to touch base.

For Black History Month, I'm wondering if anyone would join me in donating to Rainbow in Black? It's a 501(c)3 whose staff support Black trans youth and their families all over the nation. Statistically, this decreases risk factors for these youth and increases their chances of being happy adults! The queer, trans, and disabled communities would not be where we are today without Black activists.

Free Resources

I'll be posting recommendations on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook for International Play Therapy Week this week. I plan to share resources and tools that I find useful in my work with trans and autistic clients. (I'd also love to know about your favorite resources!)

Over on the Aces Up Your Sleeve podcast, we've been covering topics like Neurodivergent Flirting, Mixed Neurotype Relationships, and Autistic Supervisors. You or your clients may find some of that insight useful!

Discounted Resources

In celebration of International Play Therapy Week, feel free to take 25% off any of my Play Therapy courses with code: PTweek25

I will also be presenting on May 30th at 11:30am Pacific at THRIVE (a virtual BDSM and mental health conference) and the tickets are free, though they do ask for donations if you're able! (Donations pay the volunteers and presenters.) Clients are welcome, but so are you! There's a general track for all attendees and a professional track as well.

I'll be co-presenting Autism and Age Play with Sabrina Longley, LCSW, and we're going to focus on sensory joy and supporting your inner child!

Happy learning,

Dr. Kade Sharp

Curious Cryptid Learning You've Got Mothmail! Dear Reader, Whether you've been here a while or you're here because you just learned How To Be a Neurodiversity Affirming Play Therapist, I'm excited to send a quick update on offerings to you today!

Some areas- like Spokane- have been absolutely devastated (over 800 homes and buildings lost) and I...

the free DIVERGE summit starts next month!

Curious Cryptid Learning You've Got Mothmail! Dear Reader, Welcome to more new readers from the How to be a Neurodiversity Affirming Play Therapist training!
