Recreation Therapists and Recreation Therapy Assistants support patient engagement in purposeful and meaningful interventions that are based on individual strengths and values, and are guided by assessments. They make necessary adaptations to recreation and leisure opportunities to allow for full participation. Therapeutic Recreation programs at Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital reflect patients’ diverse interests and goals including: art, gardening, poetry and short stories, seated dance, Snoezelen and reminiscence therapies. The Therapeutic Recreation team educate patients and caregivers about the skills and resources required to participate in recreation and leisure both in hospital, and when re-engaging in the community.”
