ABOUT

It is a normal part of life to experience stress and anxiety during our lives. Engaging in enjoyable and fun activities, as well as practicing self-care, will increase the success of Living Well. The APPS4LIVINGWELL was created to give individuals leisure and recreation resources that can: 

 

  • Help reduce stress and anxiety related symptoms.

  • Increase access to activities and tools to improve coping skills

  • Improve mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness to help prevent a crisis event, that may result in the need for inpatient care or hospitalization.

What is a Recreational Therapist?
Certified and qualified professionals that provide treatment services through the use of leisure and recreation activities, to enhance individuals physical, cognitive, emotional, social and leisure development, so they may participate fully and independently in chosen life pursuits. Services also seek to reduce depression, stress and anxiety in their clients and help them build confidence and socialize in their community.  https://www.atra-online.com/page/AboutRecTherapy
​
Requirements to become a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist include a Bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited university, a formal clinical internship and passing the national competency exam. The National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC) oversees the credentialing process. Several states also require recreational therapists to be licensed within their states.
