Children are presenting with their families at homeless shelters at alarming rates. Shelter providers charged with carrying out front-line services for these families are trained in techniques that are primarily used with adults leaving a training gap when it comes to interacting with children. The purpose of this article is to highlight ways that child-centered play therapy skills could be used to improve the quality of adult–child interactions between shelter providers and children staying at homeless shelters
