American Therapeutic Recreation Association
The association that broke away in 1984 to insist that recreation, delivered by a credentialed therapist against an assessed need, is treatment, and that has spent four decades writing that claim into the documents healthcare runs on.

Their shape
The Guild
Where mastery is the price of belonging.
The Guild is the keeper of a craft and its standards, where belonging means meeting a real bar. Its gift is depth and trusted expertise, its challenge is opening up to newcomers and new ways.
Also reads toward The Movement and The Citadel.
