Jackson Therapeutic Recreation-monthly fee
REMOTE THERAPEUTIC RECREATION AVAILABLE ACROSS CANADA
Did you know that a lack of social connection can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day? According to an Ipsos Reid poll for Global News, as of February 2021, almost half of all people aged 55 and better feel lonely. Of course, loneliness affects people of all ages. Often overlooked, loneliness is a health risk that can lead to depression, poor sleep and eating habits and can damage cardiovascular and immune systems.
We support people living with stroke, dementia, mental health challenges, bereavement, autism, developmental disability, social isolation, depression, anxiety, physical disability, behavioural issues—or anyone who simply wants to make a positive change.
Wellness Link’s remote therapeutic recreation services provide meaningful social engagement while your loved one remains safe at home. Our employees are all skilled Recreation Therapists providing virtual therapeutic recreation via phone or online to enhance social connection and boost quality of life.

Peer Support
People with lived experience can play an important role in helping others achieve recovery from mental health issues and addictions. Peer support fosters the hope that recovery is possible while promoting skills for coping with and managing symptoms and encouraging the use of natural supports and enhancement of community living skills.
Health & Wellness
Our Health and Wellness Program offers social recreation opportunities including a variety of leisure activities for consumers of mental health services. We provide a safe space with programs that are led by a team of dedicated staff, peers, and volunteers, many of whom are peers themselves.
Our Health & Wellness Program provides participants with opportunities to participate in community life, to make friendships, and for recovery through peer facilitated groups. Some examples of other groups we offer include: arts and crafts, cooking, writing, journaling, yoga, open mic night, walking group, youth drop-in, book club, and early risers mindfulness.
