COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The pandemic has magnified the negative impact of isolation. RT integrates you into the community in a safe way, promoting meaningful participation in outdoor and community activities.

Ability
over
Age.
Therapy focused on what you CAN do.
empowering you through all dimensions of wellness
Mind, body, and spirit. The big three have been a wellness slogan for decades; however, "the body" has arguably been the #1 priority of the healthcare industry. The truth: recreational therapy is often the missing piece of how to empower the body by incorporating the mind and spirit.
The International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) promotes seven dimensions of wellness, illustrated on the left. These dimensions are complex and often function at varying levels. In fact, boredom and social isolation can exacerbate all dimensions.
Recreational therapists collect quantitative and qualitative data to understand the whole person. While we do value data, most importantly, we value and embrace person-centered care prioritizing your individual preferences and needs.

you are and change the ending."
