Synopsis
This superb practical handbook contains 100 activities that are non-competitive and can be used across the whole age spectrum with individuals or groups. It provides indispensable material for use with learning disabilities, mental health, physical disabilities and regressed psychiatric or geriatric patients. The non-competitive nature of these activities ensures that people feel safe in making a contribution, and fear of failure or disappointment is effectively eliminated. Divided into photocopiable sections, these provide a session format that focuses on maintaining and increasing the function of the whole person. It is an ideal resource for day centres, hospitals, care homes and the creative group leader.
