I thought I would start a topic on who is on this board (since your user name might not clue us in). I'm Sarah and a recreation coordiator with Denver Parks and Rec's Special Needs Program. As the legislative chair of the Colo. Therapeutic Recreation Society board I decieded to start this message board and am the administrator. Now it's your turn!
Hi! I'm Rachel Wysuph, Therapeutic Recreation Coordinator for the City of Wheat RIdge and I'm LOVING this message board! Great job Sarah! I'll be sure to add it to my favorites and I'm looking forward to all the possibilities/assistance this message board has to offer!
Welcome everyone! My name is Autumn Boyer and I'm a CTRS at Centennial Peaks Hospital in Louisville, an inpatient psychiatric facility serving adults and adolescents. I'm also the 2007 President of CTRS and glad to have such a resource available to us TR's in Colorado, so thank you Sarah for putting this together! Hopefully it will grow to become a great networking & informational resource for clinical, community & academic TR's as well as students emerging into the field!
Have a great day!
