Recreational Respite-Workshops & Fall Programming

RECreating Capacity Workshop

Fostering a culture of participation has been at the core of what we do in both our one to one supports and group programs, since 2008. Building capacity through collaborative work has been extensive at Recreational Respite with community partnerships across the globe that promote recreation, connectivity, inclusion, and social health. These collaborations have created a unique interdependence that moves away from the myth that we rely on only one source to provide meaningful relationships between the people we support and the services we offer. This multi-strategic approach broadens impact, builds, and strengthens a unique team culture, elevates sustainability, creates consistency, and produces measurable outcomes.

 

Participants

Here are some suggestions and targeted groups.

  • Caregivers (family caregivers)
  • Volunteers
  • Students
  • Other professionals (personal support workers, respite workers etc.)

Outcomes
This workshop strives to identify several fundamentals of recreation programs and its capacities and is a suggested start to any of our other workshops.

  • Create opportunities to implement recreation in a variety of capacities
