ABSTRACT

This chapter presents an overview of the practice of Tele-Play Therapy. Play therapy offered through the virtual environment is not a substitute for face-to-face therapy but requires serious consideration of how virtual paediatric mental health service provision can be made safe, accessible, and a desirable option. The child and their family are the central focus to determine the level of Tele-Play Therapy intervention with seamless connectivity between the human and digital ecosystems.
