Therapeutic Recreation is using recreation services and leisure experiences to help people with limitations make the most of their lives – physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. Therapeutic Recreation has a lot to offer:

• THERAPY – to improve functional abilities, enhance well-being and facilitate independence.

• LEISURE EDUCATION – to teach or enhance recreation skills and attitudes that can be used throughout life.

• RECREATION PARTICIPATION – to promote health and growth through leisure and recreation experiences.

Therapeutic Recreation is important because it can help people of all ages and backgrounds to get well, live well and stay well.
