The spiritual domain of human functioning is critical to overall well-being and an
important area of focus for recreational therapists. In this session, we will define spirituality,
understand its role in health and well-being, and examine ways that recreational therapists can
facilitate spiritual well-being in the people we serve. Lastly, we will explore specific interventions
and environmental modifications that can help build spiritual well-being.
Upon completion of the module, participants will be able to:
1. Define the spiritual domain of human functioning in a strengths approach
2. List at least 3 ways that spirituality builds well-being and human flourishing
3. List at least 5 interventions and approaches to build spiritual well-being from an
ecological perspective
