Using SCUBA for Rehabilitation Real Stories

https://www.diveheart.org/

This will be a very intereting program.  Even though I have been certified to dive since I was 20, I never imagined the SCUBA therapy could be so beneficial to those with disabilities.  People with disabilities have been proving for years that very few activities are off-limits. And whether or not an individual has a disability, many activities can offer physical, psychological and emotional benefits. Scuba diving, research has shown, offers special benefits for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and spinal cord injuries, as well as benefits for individuals with autism and other disabilities.  Hear real life stories at this Newton Rotary Club meeting.  As a preamble to the meeting, I have posted the website for this not-for-profit organization in this post.

I met Jim Elliott in Houston last month at the Rotary Zone meeting.  This is another example of how a Rotarian is using Rotary to change the world one life at a time.
