Overview

Graduate Certificate - Therapeutic Recreation

Students at Georgian College learn to provide client-centred, strength-based therapeutic recreation services using the therapeutic recreation process. 

Students acquire the skills to complete client assessments and to develop, implement and evaluate group and individual therapeutic recreation programs. 

A variety of facilitative techniques are explored in order to assist individuals to participate in meaningful recreation and leisure experiences that will achieve health related goals, improve functional ability, and increase quality of life. 

Graduates of this program are eligible to become registered members of Therapeutic Recreation Ontario (R/TRO). Membership type will depend on the postsecondary credentials they hold:

  • R/TRO for graduates with degrees
  • R/TRO DIP for graduates with diplomas

Graduates may also apply to become a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) using one of two specific pathways (equivalency path A or B).
