Play Therapy Services for Social Workers and Counselors

The Eastern Cape Health Department is inviting tenders for the provision of play therapy services aimed at training and supporting 40 officials, including social workers and registered counselors. The selected service provider will be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive play therapy program that equips participants with essential therapeutic techniques to effectively engage with children and families in need of mental health support. The program is expected to enhance the capacity of these professionals to address emotional and psychological challenges faced by their clients.

The scope of work includes conducting workshops, providing training materials, and offering ongoing support to ensure the effective application of play therapy techniques. Providers must demonstrate experience in delivering similar training programs, a thorough understanding of child psychology, and the ability to tailor services to meet the specific needs of the participants. This initiative not only aims to improve the skills of social workers and counselors but also seeks to foster a collaborative environment that promotes better mental health outcomes for the communities they serve.
