The Canadian Association for Sandplay Therapy (CAST) promotes the development of Sandplay Therapy, an experiential and creative psychotherapeutic approach for children and adults. Our internationally accredited therapists and faculty are available to offer Sandplay Therapy and training in Ontario, Quebec and BC.
In other areas of Canada, as the benefits and efficacy of sandplay become more widely known, there are growing numbers of psychotherapists working toward CAST certification. To broaden knowledge and share information about the practice of sandplay, CAST holds national conferences, meetings and seminars.
CAST’s training programme leads toward certification with the International Society for Sandplay Therapy (ISST) founded by Dora Kalff in 1985. Our faculty consists of Teaching Members authorized by CAST and ISST. Training has been offered in Toronto, Montréal, Kingston, London, Edmonton, Vancouver and South Korea. We also accommodate group requests for training in other locations, as well as agency-based training.
CAST promotes Sandplay Therapy in all regions of Canada, and offers complete training programmes in both French and English. Our faculty is aware of developing provincial regulations regarding the practice of psychotherapy, and continues to review CAST’s training programme in relation to new or changed requirements.
