First play therapy room for children opens in Gaza

Volunteer “Inclusion Crew” launched the first play therapy room called “puzzle”, which provides behavioral and psychological care to children aged 3 to 6.

The room seeks to early detection of behavior problems and disorders in children by providing a safe communication environment in which children can express their thoughts, needs, and feelings.

Play therapy is a type of counseling or psychotherapy that uses play to assess or treat psychological and social issues.

The idea of a play therapy room came because Gaza lacks such space, especially in kindergartens. This play room is full of elements that aid treatment process and includes professionally trained specialists to deal with this category of children using more than one methodology depending on the child’s condition.

The Inclusion Crew seeks to expand their project to cover all of the kindergartens in Gaza.
