Play Notes from Dr. Fountain Hardy, President

February 21, 2023

Our conference is forthcoming with full capacity. I look forward to seeing your wonderful faces (or lovely eyes for those who choose to wear masks for safety). I'm looking forward to our first time having conference sponsors and external donators who are enabling us to better spread fun and wellness to our play therapists.  You desire all the joy and fun that comes your way to balance caring for Georgia's children and families on a daily basis. The board is also planning a community event for July (with the sponsorship of Aetna) so we looking forward to sharing more information with you soon.

I am wishing you wellness during this holiday season and new year!  Our conference is forthcoming on March 10-11, 2023, and we look forward to seeing you in person (with some safety measures in place to prevent the spread of illness). Please note that our conference registration is now online! Check out our updated website. We will also have sponsor and vendor opportunities this year so help us to spread the word. I look forward to gathering and laughing with you in 2023.

Hello!  It is an absolute pleasure and honor to be elected as your new GAPT President!  I look forward to enhancing the greatness that GAPT provides to our members and the community at large (and also request your patience as we transition the organizational aspects after being led by Trudy Post-Sprunk for nearly three decades and due to APT requirements that are currently being updated for chartered branches).  The Board of Directors is planning to continue some of the awesome traditions and begin new ones as well.  I look forward to serving as your leader and to the great work that we all provide in the midst of the current chaotic atmosphere. Thank you for continuing to care about the children in Georgia and for promoting the goodness of play therapy! 

A message from our Past President, Trudy Post-Sprunk

Some of my favorite memories over the last 26 years include …

  • Enjoying your passion for play therapy. Hearing your responses to reconnecting with friends while attending GAPT conferences
  • Watching your positive reactions to our speakers.
  • Listening to your laughter as you share play therapy stories. Seeing your excitement as you buy or win play therapy puppets
  • Watching at sand tray workshops as you self-soothe in the sand.
  • Noticing how playful you were at Jeff Ashby’s workshop
  • Seeing you “light up” when you learn a valuable play therapy technique or learn about new research.
  • Hearing about your personal play therapy successes.
  • Reading your conference evaluations.
  • Sharing your joy when you earn your RPT credential.
  • Appreciating your involvement in our national organization.


I will truly miss these things and many, many more.

With all my love and respect,

Trudy
