As the Kentucky Branch (KAPT) of the national Association for Play Therapy (APT) our mission “is to provide support and training to mental health professionals who facilitate healing for children, families and communities experiencing emotional and relationship problems through the promotion and use of play therapy.”
If you are considering membership in our organization you must know that KAPT membership is a dual membership. One joins the state branch through the national organization. You get the benefits of dual membership for very few additional dollars. To find out more about joining to to the membership link or directly to www.a4pt.org.
