That’s the one million dollar question that we -Diversional Therapists- face on daily basis.

Diversional Therapists across New Zealand go above and beyond when supporting the people in their care, through unique and meaningful recreational programs.

​

We believe that every single person has a huge potential regardless of their age or ability and we do our very best to create joyful engagement for the people in our care.

​

  • A Diversional Therapist is the person who creates and facilitates greater opportunities for social interactions.

  • A Diversional Therapist is the soul of every workplace, is the person who keeps a smile against all odds.

  • A Diversional Therapist promotes inclusion, cohesion, and wellbeing and enriches people’s lives.

  • A Diversional Therapist is a very special kind of human, is a light in the darkness and the rainbow after the storm.

  • Diversional Therapists play one of the most important roles in today’s society. We are the storytellers, the healers, the lovers and the peacemakers.

  • We are the people changing the culture of care!

​

So next time, someone ask you; what is a Diversional Therapist? Stand tall and proud, smile at them and let them know how you are changing the world in which we live today.

​

With lots of love to all the amazing Diversional Therapists across New Zealand,
