The Shakespeare Hospice Diversional Therapy Blog: October 2010

What is Diversional Therapy?

Exactly as it sounds, diversional therapy aims to ‘divert’ a person’s attention away from their difficulties. For those coping with a serious illness, concentrating on something else, for however short a period, can provide much needed relief and relaxation.

Many of our patients find their symptoms prevent them from doing activities they previously enjoyed. Diversional therapy enables participants to explore new talents and discover new interests to replace those which are no longer open to them.

The ethos of our Diversional Therapy area, like that of the Hospice as a whole, is one of living life to the full. Fun and laughter are encouraged and enjoyed in this light-hearted part of the Hospice.
