Howze Your Health
Welcome to Howze Your Health. The name is posed as a question for us to continue to assess our overall well being. So how’s your health?
The formation of HYH came from a desire to share resources, tools, and help build a healthy connection between mental health and the community. First with sharing on social media with inspirational quotes, resourceful videos, and engaging the community in dialogue and activities that challenged them to seek support and understanding around mental health related topics.
What is Play Therapy?
Play Therapy uses a theory based approach to assist children in a way that they understand. “Toys are children’s words and play is their language” is a quote used by Garry Landreth to describe the power of play and how it can be used to communicate what verbal communication may not. Play Therapy is different from regular play as the therapist seeks to understand the child’s world through play.
