Strategies for increased team collaboration will also be addressed.

By implementing these strategies, occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants and students can navigate the demands of today's hectic healthcare environment more effectively, leading to improved communication, enhanced teamwork, and better client outcomes.

OT Course Participant -
Strategic Solutions for Banishing Burnout for OT Practitioners

" Lynn, was so personable and her passion for the topic was evident. Her list of "quick hacks" and "change makers" is super helpful because it doesn't appear unrealistic, unattainable, or overwhelming to implement. Thank you for a great experience attending my first Aspire OT webinar/course. Your time and knowledge are appreciated.
