In an effort to support our own practice in occupational therapy, we are pleased to offer presentations with a focus on the following topics:
Legal Considerations, Mental Health, Sexual and Gender Diversity, and Cultural Sensitivity.

The planning committee feel it is fitting to add topics that highlight some of the new Competencies for Occupational Therapists in Canada, specifically, Professional Responsibilities and Culture, Equity, and Justice. We hope you enjoy the Education Day and we look forward to seeing you there.

Enjoy the day!
-Kaitlin, Lisa, and Gillian
