My name is Starr Lamonde and I was a practicing CTRS from 2005 until 2021. For 16 years, I had the privilege of helping people heal and grow through the power of recreation. Although my career path has changed, my belief in the work has not. Just because my job is different now does not mean my passion for helping people has faded.

This project was created to promote education, programming ideas, and collaboration among professionals in many different fields. That vision is what inspired my #include, #inspire, #involve campaign. I chose these words not only for use with clients but also for how we support and encourage each other as professionals. We thrive when we share knowledge, work as part of a treatment team, and bring awareness to the value of therapeutic interventions and modalities.

I remain committed to bringing a steady stream of educational content to our community. If you have research papers or resources you would like to submit for publication, I would love to review and share them here.
