I perform therapeuticrecreation tasks such as completing assessments on new residents, use the Assessment Planning Implementation and Evaluation process, and facilitate recreation interventions. With the youth ranging from 7 - 18, I often find myself having to be flexible, adapting my programs, and utilizing therapeutic crisis intervention strategies. Common recreation interventions I aided in facilitating include: High ropes, kayaking, canoeing, hiking and sports.
