Description: In this paper, we share cultural adaptations of facilitated play and psychoeducation caregiver- child support groups, WePlay! and Nosotros Jugamos. Originating in Denver and expanding to Washington, DC, the programs prioritize caregiver-driven, flexible, inclusive, and culturally responsive approaches. Future group considerations include a year-round, open-group format and tailoring offerings for specific populations, such as military families and those receiving inpatient services. WePlay! and Nosotros Jugamos are also excited about the possibility of international expansion. This outreach reflects a commitment to dynamic, participant-centered programming that evolves based on feedback and regional population needs.
