The largest play and art therapy space in Kamloops.

You want to be able to know your child or youth is receiving quality play and art therapy. Ferne Strain created Raven’s Nest with this in mind.

Raven's Nest is a welcoming space with an emphasis on play therapy, sand tray therapy, and art therapy. Raven's Nest provides a large open area with an extensive amount of therapeutic toys, sand tray figurines and art supplies to allow the children and youth to choose what they are drawn to in order to heal themselves through therapeutic toys.

Ferne Strain holds a diploma from the Justice Institute of British Columbia in play therapy and has additional training from the Synergetic Play Therapy Institute. Ferne has over 18 years experience working with children and youth who have experienced complex trauma.
