2019 Annual Conference

Guided by the literature on the psychophysiological health and wellbeing benefits of nature engagement, this experiential session will make an evidence-based case for intentional nature engagement programming in recreation therapy practice across all treatment settings and populations. Participants will learn how to articulate the evidence-based benefits of nature-based interventions and how to connect them to assessment and treatment planning. Considerations for special populations will be shared, and participants will be invited to practice example interventions.
