  Advocacy in Action: Introduction to Being an OT Advocate 

  Session 3: Advocacy in Action- Introduction to Being an OT Advocate 

  Join us to learn more about being an advocate in your workplace, in your community, within the state and nationally. This information will break down how everyone can and needs to be an advocate for our profession and provide realistic and simple ways to prepare to be an advocate everyday. We also hope to build confidence in our OT community to attend community town hall sessions with our WI representatives to advocate for legislation in WI this year.

  Session 6: Advocacy in Action - Self-care for OT Practitioners: Preventing Burnout
  

  Rates of burnout in healthcare providers are estimated at 30% to 50% (Adams et al., 2024). I would like to offer a series of wellness workshops for OT practitioners with a goal to enhance quality of life and prevent burnout. I would like this series to maximize participants’ time by offering continue education (CEU’s) toward license and certification renewal, while at the same time offering a chance to relax, connect, and play with self-care tools that practitioners can incorporate into their own lives. This goal will be accomplished by linking evidence-based research articles with some immediate practical applications of research.
