Encourage creative hobbies, face-to-face time with loved ones and moments of real rest. Whether it’s a walk, a picnic, a book or a conversation, every unplugged moment counts.

This week is Therapeutic Recreation Week, a time to recognize the vital role that Recreational Therapists play in mental health treatment. These professionals help patients avoid negative choices by guiding them to explore more constructive ways to spend their time. Their efforts contribute to improving social skills, fostering positive experiences, regaining confidence and enhancing overall mood while reducing anxiety. They also aid in developing tools for managing issues such as social anxiety, depression, anger and bipolar disorder. Most importantly, they encourage patients to embrace life fully. Let’s take a moment to celebrate our dedicated team at Intermountain Hospital for their impactful work in this field.
