Recreational therapy at La EuropaRecreational Therapy

Recreational Therapy is a powerful form of hands-on therapy that covers many areas; sand tray therapy, art, life skills, leisure education, leisure activities, and experiential therapy are a few that could be experienced during a Recreation Therapy group.

Many times we provide tasks or group problems to solve. Typically, our students approach these simulated problems as they approach real problems in their lives. Recreation Therapy is a study of the self as these patterns and dynamics emerge as members of the group interact with one another. As team-building activities occur, self-efficacy and a sense of empowerment increase as individuals experience success.

Many people learn better by doing and these interactive experiences can be more impactful then other forms of therapy depending on the learning style of the individual. Combined with all other aspects of La Europa Academy, Recreational Therapy becomes an invaluable tool of healing and change.
