rECREATIONAL tHERAPY

​

Recreational Therapy addresses the challenges individuals have by using activities they already love or introducing them to and exploring new, therapeutic leisure pursuits. This gives the individual an opportunity to explore and help them become more independent and face their unique challenges.  Therapy directly impacts the person’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Recreational Therapists utilize a systematic, evidence-based treatment approach to meet personal goals and identified needs utilizing leisure activities - either as a stand-alone therapy service or as part of a support team.

 

Current Openings:

If we are unable to provide a therapist that meets your needs at this time, we are happy to work with you to explore other available services that may better support you while you wait.

​We understand the importance of recreational therapy and are excited to expand our team! We are currently accepting applications for Recreational Therapists who are passionate about building the future of service delivery with us. While we recognize the high demand for this valuable service, we also acknowledge the limited availability for families and individuals. That’s why we are actively working behind the scenes to bring more opportunities to the community.
