Happy OT Month 2018
Happy OT Month! We’re celebrating with a new low full membership rate of $5/month or $60/year.
Occupational Therapy month is the time of year when we raise awareness about what it is OTs do and how an OT can help you. Please visit our blog, FAQ, Podcasts and other resources at HolisticOT.org.
What is Holistic Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy is already a holistic field that addresses many aspects of a person’s life; their Activities of Daily Living or occupations, from the individual to the environment. Holistic Occupational Therapy combines OT with complementary and integrative health.
Mission Statement
The Holistic OT Community provides the occupational therapy profession a place to connect with OT practitioners interested in or practicing complementary and integrative health, wellness, and prevention and those seeking these services, as part of occupation based practice.
The Holistic OT Community values connecting with and serving the whole person – mind, body and spirit, including the whole environment. Practitioners are healing artists and role models who embody self-care, therapeutic use of self, mindfulness, presence, spirituality, universal connection, balance, the life journey, love, joy, and peace as the catalysts to health and wellness.
Those seeking a Holistic OT Community practitioner can find competent OTs who have experience and education in complementary and integrative health, wellness, and prevention through the practitioner directory. Relevant resources, education, evidence-based practice and advances in neurosciences are shared through research, classes, events, videos, and articles.
