Space to connect, create, and breathe.

Illness and recovery can feel isolating. Therapy & Recreation brings clients together in a safe and caring environment for activities that support well-being, confidence, and connection.

About the department

The Therapy & Recreation Department was established in its current form in May 2015, continuing the work of the former Patients' Association.

The department works closely with PWF's psychosocial team and trained volunteers. Activities take place at the PWF center in Scharloo and, from time to time, at other locations.
