Main Points & Key Takeaways: -Define Holistic Wellness – Considers the whole person and emphasizes on the mind, body, spirit connection, does not focus on illness or other body parts. More Balance. Background of Recreation therapist – treatment service to restore, remediate, and rehabilitate a person’s level of functioning and promote life activities that encourage health and wellness. Define cognitive health and why it is so important. Cognitive and neurological health refers to the health of the brain and its overall function, including memory, judgment, language, intuition, and the ability to learn. What feeling do you want to create? I want people to leave with a better understanding of what holistic health is and what recreation therapists do. It also gives a glimpse into what cognitive health is. Resource: According to the ATRA, recreational therapy means a treatment service designed to restore, remediate, and rehabilitate a person’s level of functioning and independence in life activities to promote health and wellness as well as reduce or eliminate the activity limitations and restrictions to participation in life situations caused by an illness or disabling condition. Recreation therapists seek to reduce depression and stress & anxiety in their clients and help them to build confidence and socialize in their community. How is holistic wellness different? It embraces a definition of “health” which includes not only the absence of “illness” but extends to the enhancement of physical, cognitive, emotional, and mental health.
