Therapeutic Recreation
Therapeutic Recreation is a type of therapy that uses recreational activities to improve the physical, emotional, and social well-being of individuals. It is often used for people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or mental health issues. Activities can include sports, arts and crafts, games, and outdoor adventures, all tailored to meet the specific needs of participants.
The goal of Therapeutic Recreation is to enhance quality of life and promote independence through enjoyable experiences. Trained professionals, known as Recreational Therapists, assess individual needs and create personalized programs that encourage skill development, social interaction, and overall health improvement.
