Occupational Justice for Newcomers Network
As a partner network to the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, OJNN seeks to connect occupational therapists, occupational scientists, and students in the same field to the world of migration.
Connecting Black Occupational Therapists of Nova Scotia
Black occupational therapists in Nova Scotia enrich and enhance the practice contexts they are a part of. Over tea/coffee, a connection was formed and a community of practice grew. We hope to keep our community growing and deepening in connection!
Working Alongside Youth in High School
As a part of my volunteer work with the YMCA Centre for Immigrant Programs, I support youth with forced migrant experiences plan for higher education and talk through their experiences resettling in the Canadian school system.
I am always advocating. Currently on the go: Expanding the role of OT to include work with refugee children & youth transitioning into the Canadian School System. Developing the role of OT in primary care for people with forced migrant experiences.
Building Capacity in Multi-systems
Aligned with my research and practice interests, I am available to share knowledge on forced migration, trauma responses, and their experiences within education, legal, and healthcare systems.
Occupational Therapy and Migration Research
Bringing together research in occupational therapy and occupational science, this research feature highlights why migration research is necessary, and how occupational therapists can become involved in migration work.
