Celebrating National Therapeutic Recreation Month

Feb-28-2023

Employees

February is National Therapeutic Recreation Month, focused on raising awareness of the importance of participating in activities that help people with disabilities recover and heal. Therapeutic recreation is the use of leisure activities to promote the health, emotional wellbeing, skills, and abilities of people with illnesses or disabilities. Therapeutic recreation includes drama, music, arts and crafts, sports, dance and movement, as well as games. Therapeutic recreation is available in various settings, including hospitals, schools, community centers, sports programs, and assisted living facilities.

Imagine! employs a number of Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS), and our community and the people we serve are the beneficiaries of their considerable skills, talent, and compassion.

All through the month, Imagine!’s school age service, community services, and assistive technology teams have been celebrating these amazing employees with little gifts, including these 3D printed figures!
