Thank you Lauretta your suggestions give me hope that there is something we can do. To the others struggling with a name, on my office door are the words Diversional Therapist, on my badge are the words Activities officer but I am known as the Recreational Activity Officer or RAO talk about an identity crisis LOL. I have the diploma and am studying the bachelor I dont really think it matters what they call us as long as they respect us, and dont think we just "Play games" all day. Lisa
