What is Recreation Therapy?
Recreation therapy is a health profession that recognizes leisure and recreation as essential components of optimal health and wellbeing. Recreation Therapists support meaningful, individualized outcomes based on people’s needs, goals, strengths and values. Recreation Therapists work across the continuum of care with individuals experiencing physical, mental, emotional, cognitive, or social limitations, following established standards of practice. Participation in therapeutic recreation supports physical and psychological health, cognitive functioning, personal growth, and life satisfaction. Recreation therapy unlocks potential and enhances lives.
The Importance of Hiring Skilled Recreation Therapists
Recreation Therapists provide tailored, evidence-informed interventions that address individual needs and support meaningful outcomes. Their work takes a holistic approach-considering cognitive, physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. Through purposeful group and individual interventions, Recreation Therapists foster connection, reduce isolation, and strengthen community wellbeing. Investing in qualified Recreation Therapists supports individual growth and contributes to healthier, more inclusive communities. Therapeutic Recreation is evidence in action.
Thank you to all Recreation Therapists who bring evidence, compassion, and intention to their practice every day.
Thank you to students, educators, researchers and allies who continue to advance the profession. And thank you to the individuals, families, and communities who trust Recreation Therapy as part of their health and wellbeing. The work does not end with this month.
Advocacy, education and access to Recreation Therapy matter year-round.
