  Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapists work with psychiatric patients on leisure exploration and satisfaction, coping skills, community integration and awareness and enhanced socialization. Leisure education focuses on the importance of wellness and leisure in one's life for creative expression, friendship development, stress management and relaxation. Discharge planning includes connecting patients to appropriate community leisure resources such as local parks and recreation programs or centres, mental health programs, and creating individualized leisure plans.
