In honor of Recreation Therapy Month, we wanted to highlight our Recreation Therapist, Kelvin, and get his response to this one crucial question, “why is recreational therapy important to you?”

"Knowing that I could be active with the people that are receiving treatment and connect with them like that makes me happy. From working with people with IDD and within the behavioral health setting, I've fallen in love with doing recreational therapy. Planning groups that are both fun and educational at the same time is an awesome thing." Kelvin N., Recreation Therapist

In honor of Recreation Therapy Month, we wanted to highlight our Recreational Therapist, Caitlin, and get her response to this one crucial question, “why is Recreational Therapy important to you?”

"I love the diverse settings we can be a part of as well as the diversity in the clients we serve. Recreation therapy is important to me because the older I get, the more I value play and laughter! You really get to know a person when you’re having fun with them. Also, it has encouraged me to practice what I teach; the importance of having a healthy leisure lifestyle." - Caitlin S., CTRS. Thank you for sharing, Caitlin!
