Creative Therapy Health Services

Summer is almost here ☀️ time to get the whole family outside! From nature walks and hikes 🥾 to bike or scooter rides 🚴‍♂️, backyard games 🏃‍♀️, and gardening together 🌱, there’s something for everyone. Pack a picnic 🧺, splash in some water 💦, enjoy a family sports day ⚽, create nature-inspired art 🎨, or cozy up for story time under the trees 📖.
Outdoor play isn’t just fun—it helps kids build motor skills, practice coordination, regulate emotions, and create lasting family memories. 🌈💛

Please welcome Tara Roughley to CTHS. She is our newest OT student.

“I have had an interest in working in healthcare since high school, but I was never exactly sure what I wanted this to look like. During my undergrad I had the opportunity to volunteer at a supervised gym for seniors and individuals with a variety of health/physical conditions. While volunteering there I realized that I really enjoyed working with people to reach their fitness goals – particularly when they had functional meaning to them, such as fulfilling roles as a parent. I started exploring different careers that may help me pursue this passion and came across OT - thanks to some guidance from friends I had that were already in the program, I realized this was definitely the path I wanted to take. I value the holistic and functional approach that OTs take, as well as the collaboration with clients for goals that are important to them.”-Tara Roughley
