Please check back soon for an update.
Meetings take place bi-monthly. The last meeting was conducted on May 14, 2024.
What is a Community of Practice?
TRO’s purpose in developing a Mental Health Community of Practice (CoP) is to create a resource where Recreation Therapists who are working in a similar setting can gather to promote best practice, share ideas, and develop resources.
The Communities of Practice meet virtually once every quarter. Meetings are led by a TRO Member but meetings are open to everyone and anyone to attend.
