Being with Children and the Person-Centered Approach
October 17, 2026
ime: 9:00 AM - 11:00 A.M. Pacific Time (California) Online via Zoom

In this workshop, Barbara Williams and Heather Williams will present the Kids’ Workshop™ and the Kids’ Workshop Training Program, designed with the help of Carl Rogers.

Drawing on their experience of being and working with children in a variety of settings, Barbara and Heather will explore how the person-centered approach, supported by creative tools, can enrich our work and communication with children.

Particular attention will be given to the person-centered qualities at the heart of this work.

Barbara Williams is a member of the CSP Global Mentors Committee. Her professional background includes private practice, play therapy, and education. With the help of Carl Rogers, she created the Kids’ Workshop™ and later developed the Kids’ Workshop Training Program with colleagues in Italy. She has presented the program internationally for more than 30 years.

Heather Williams is a member of CSP Global. She has a background in photography and experience working with children, adolescents, and people experiencing homelessness. Together with Barbara, she has presented the Kids’ Workshop™ and its training program internationally.

We would be delighted to welcome you and share this opportunity to connect and explore how we can be with children in a deeply respectful, creative, and person-centered way.

In an effort to bring the Center’s encounter group experience to the general public, CSP facilitators currently offer a two-and-a-half-hour sampling of what it is like in CSP’s more intensive face-to-face experiences. Will Stillwell is facilitating CSP Encounter meetings on the first and third Wednesday of the month.
