Therapeutic Recreation

Excelsior offers Group and Individual Services

Excelsior’s Psychotherapeutic Recreation services utilize recreation and leisure activities to assist youth and families in attaining their healthcare, educational, and behavioral health goals. Prescriptive activities address concerns such as sociability, interpersonal relationships, anger management, and impulse control. The activities stem from a fundamental belief that healthy relationships and a positive self-concept are both keys to forming a commitment to maintaining appropriate behavior.

Group programming aims to address the following four areas:

  • Quality of Life
  • Social Role
  • Self-Concept
  • Interpersonal Relationships
