Tiffany Morin

Tiffany Morin (MSc, CTRS) has been working in therapeutic recreation for over 24 years and it has taken her across the globe. She has practiced in New Zealand, Australia, the USA, and Canada. She is also a proud member of the Metis Nation of Alberta.

Tiffany has a Diploma in Therapeutic Recreation (gerontology) from Lethbridge College, a Therapeutic Recreation Technician (TRT) Certificate from Salt Lake Community College, a Bachelor’s Degree in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies (CRDS) from the University of Calgary, and a Master’s Degree in Community Health Sciences from the University of Calgary.

Tiffany has experience with a variety of populations, but most recently she has worked in neuro rehabilitation with Alberta Health Services in Calgary, Alberta. This motivated her to partner with the Stroke Recovery Association of Calgary for her master’s degree research project with young stroke survivors and their experiences with the local peer support program.

You will now find Tiffany teaching in the Therapeutic Recreation degree program at the University of Lethbridge. In her free time, you will find Tiffany fully engaged in a variety of leisure activities: hiking, camping, cooking, painting, beading, traveling, and volunteering for Ovarian Cancer Canada, Rocky Mountain Adaptive and folk music festivals.

Experience:

24+ years in the field of therapeutic recreation, starting in gerontology and dementia care, then transitioning to neuro rehabilitation. Focused on a strengths-based practice, community integration, leisure education, adapted sports, and positive psychology interventions.

Tiffany currently supports a variety of research projects through the University of Calgary, including MAP (Managed Alcohol Program), RIVER (Recognizing Indigenous Voices in Early Rehabilitation), and LIFTS (Leveraging Inclusion & Friendship to Thrive after Stroke).

Teaching is an honour and privilege for Tiffany. She brings her extensive TR background into the classroom with interesting and engaging learning activities, real-life stories from the field, and an enthusiasm and passion for TR.
