Papillion Center therapist Kenzie Buchanan is spending the week at Level One training learning Theraplay® — a powerful, attachment-based therapy that strengthens connection between children and their caregivers.

Theraplay focuses on building healthy relationships through playful, structured, and nurturing interactions. It’s especially helpful for children who struggle with:
💚 Big Emotions
💚 Anxiety
💚 Attachment Challenges
💚 Trauma
💚 Behavioral Concerns
💚 Adoption / Foster Care
💚 Autism
💚 ...and more

Kenzie is excited to start utilizing interventions based on Theraplay principles when she returns to the office.

Erin Goodman, executive director of The Papillion Center, presented a FASD training at Hope Unlimited Family Care Center.

Thank you Hope Unlimited for providing us with the opportunity to work with you. We believe that we are better together when we partner with our community.

Did you know that the CDC reports that 1 in 20 U.S. school-aged children may have fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs)? Many FASD symptoms mirror those similar to ADHD.

Want to learn more about FASD or need support for your child? We see you, we hear you, and we value you - let's walk this road together.

Today was my final Girl C.O.D.E. group meeting with 4th and 5th grade girls at CCA. Over the last six weeks we talked about the terms community, compassion, optimism, diversity, empathy, and empowerment. As a group, the girls identified specific ways they can practice applying each concept within their peer group. They were then challenged to utilize their ideas to make a positive impact within their school community!

We celebrated all of their progress and hard work with homemade cookies and snacks donated by Lavina Rogers.

Thank you Community Christian Academy - Paducah, KY for allowing me to host this group with your students!

I'd love to continue collaborating with other schools. Please contact me or The Papillion Center - Paducah, Kentucky about hosting a group at your school.

The Papillion Center took a field trip to Heartland Church today! We were able to join forces with countless other staff members and volunteers to help create boutonnieres and corsages for Night to Shine. Thank you Heartland Church for the opportunity to serve our community in a different capacity.

Don't worry, we will not be quitting our therapy jobs to become florists!
