Advocacy in the group

12/3/2016

1 Comment

 
 Recently, we distributed a survey to the members of the group in regards to the top priority for advocacy within our profession for the LGBT community. The option with the highest votes was development of a compilation of resources across the nation for addressing culturally sensitive care for individuals whom identify as part of the LGBT community.

The next step in the process is to gather materials practitioners are currently using or identification of resources available. After we compile resources we will then begin to organize the data into a tool for students and practitioners use when providing therapeutic services. 

Please send me any information you have available or are aware of and let me know if you are interested in assisting with the organization of data. Let's aim to have resources gathered by March 1st, therefore giving everyone adequate time to research and compile information. Thank you to everyone for your interest in advocating and assistance. I look forward to seeing what we develop!

Hi Everyone,

Hope all has been well. We decided to begin a blog on the website! Check out the blog regularly for new research and information about the LGBTQ community in the OT profession. Make sure you check out the September 28th, 2015 OT Practice magazine to review the information on the occupations of gender.

Lastly, we are taking into consideration what YOU would like out of this group and how we can continue to grow while embracing openness to everyone. If you have any feedback, advice, or tips you would like to share with us, please do! Have a marvelous day.
