About the TRI Lunchtime Series
The Pennsylvania Therapeutic Recreation Institute (TRI) has provided quality education and training for Therapeutic Recreation Specialists and Activity Coordinators for over 50 years. In 2020, we instituted a series of virtual lunchtime presentations on the latest developments and techniques in the field. These sessions proved to be very popular and provided many professionals with the opportunity to learn and earn continuing education credits without travel.
From January through May, PRPS is hosting a 3 pack of Lunchtime TRI Sessions. These zoom sessions will feature presenters who will share the latest in ideas, research, and practices for Therapeutic Recreation Professionals. All sessions will be live and recorded. During the live sessions attendees will be able to interact with instructors and other participants. Each session will also be recorded for later viewing and credit through 2022.
The TRI Lunchtime Sessions Series will provide participants with an opportunity to receive valuable training and education credits without leaving their desk. The sessions lasts up to 1.5 hours and each is slated for approval from NCTRC for 1.0 - 1.5 hrs. of continuing education credit. Each session will also qualify for .1 - .15 CEUs from the National Recreation & Park Association. This years TRI Lunchtime Sessions continues to be a easy and informative method for you to receive training, share experiences, and continue your educational journey.
