What are your thoughts on the value of recreation and leisure and their impact on human development?

In this episode I chat with Moni Lowen, the Executive Director with Recreation Opportunities for Children (ROC) Eastman. She has several decades experience reducing barriers to recreation opportunities for children. Moni is helping children have a chance to experience the benefits of meaningful recreation and, in doing so, foster happier lives and healthier communities.

A few key topics include:

• The value of recreation and leisure in life quality
• The barriers to access of recreation and leisure
• Treating the root rather than the symptom - getting off the endless treadmill of sickness and mental health
• How to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue in care-giving jobs (like social worker, teacher, etc.)

I hope you enjoy!
