The Activity Director’s Bag of Tricks

Speaker: Dennis Goodwin, Musical Memories, Snellville, GeorgiaAn evil little critter too often hides out in the field of long-term care recreation: the dreaded burnout bug. It can sneak up on the best of activity professionals and slowly begin to suck away much of their initial enthusiasm. Fortunately, that doesn’t mean that he or she is “dried up and done for” and needs to step aside to make room for a more motivated activity director. What we interpret as burnout is usually just a natural response to repetition. The overriding purpose of this session is to build a more varied and colorful assortment of activity programs and projects for directors to use in planning and programming for their resident populations and to help them stomp that burnout bug into the ground where it belongs! Audience: Activities in Assisted Living
