Development Statement: Recreational Respite’s workshops have been created with intentions to collectively build capacity and share knowledge of recreation, based on the extensive work of our recreation professional team since 2008. Our workshop committee includes a recreation development specialist who is registered as a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) under the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification. The contributions of the CTRS guide the workshop(s) structured topics and outcomes that will highlight the importance of a person-centered approach to recreation programming, in various capacities.
