Holistic Sandtray Institute:
Organizational Policies
Grievance Policy
Holistic Sandtray (HSI) & Holistic Sandtray Institute (HSI) welcomes feedback and the opportunity to addresses program participant grievances. Grievances, continuing education approvals, refunds, and any other questions or concerns should be directed to Beth Moore and the Holistic Sandtray team at [email protected].
Any grievances are discussed at a monthly team meeting of HSI senior leadership, following the receipt of such a request. The HSI team will respond to such requests within five business days of coming to a decision regarding that grievance.
Participants also have a right to issue a complaint with any of the continuing education approval sources connected to our trainings if you feel your rights as a learner have been violated or disrespected. These include but are not limited to the American Psychological Association, the National Board of Certified Counselors, the Association of Social Work Boards, Association of Play Therapy, and the International Association of Sandtray Therapy. We hope we can arrive at a mutually agreeable solution.

Professionalism:
I acknowledge that I will show up on time and be fully present for each session, reaching out to my faculty member or any assistants if any unexpected problems arise. Staying present for online learning can come with its unique set of challenges, and I agree to take full responsibility for addressing my needs in the area of grounding and self-care during the training. I agree to refrain from all alcohol and illicit drug use during the training and agree to speak with my faculty member or an assistant if I anticipate that my impairment due to prescribed medications might pose a problem during the training. The faculty and staff reserve the right to remove trainees at any time if trainee impairment creates an unsafe environment for myself or for other trainees.
Doing Your Own Work:
Throughout the training, I, as the participant in training, will be expected to participate in a working practicum experience in the role of therapist, client, and observer. This means that I will be expected to do a small piece of my own, authentic clinical work. If I am currently in counseling or being treated for a mental health condition, it is recommended that I speak with my provider, alerting them that I am participating in the training. If I’ve received a major mental health diagnosis (past or present), I acknowledge that I am taking this training and engaging in this practicum at my own risk and that I will alert faculty or training staff before or during the training if any complications arise. I acknowledge that everyone taking part in the practicum experience is either new to Sandtray therapy or is learning more as fellow clinicians learning alongside me and I agree to keep the space as safe as possible for all involved. If any problems arise, I agree to address them with faculty or staff members.
