West Virginia Therapeutic
Recreation Association
 ince 1984,
WVTRA has served as a catalyst for bringing together recreation therapists,
activity professionals, therapeutic recreation students, and educators
from psychiatric hospitals, nursing homes, correction facilities, VA
Hospitals, colleges, state hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, substance
abuse programs, and community agencies in the state of West Virginia.
Membership in WVTRA puts you in touch with your peers
throughout West Virginia. As an affiliate organization of the American
Therapeutic Recreation Association, WVTRA members have a direct link
to resources of this national organization. In addition, WVTRA maintains
close ties with NTRS and the national activity coordinator's association.
Through involvement at our Annual Conference, attendance
at educational workshops, and participation in various special interest
committees, you can build a network that benefits you, strengthens your
field, and keeps WVTRA responsive to your needs.
