    Advocacy in Action: Championing Your Profession, Clients, and Yourself

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

    The HOW of what we do. Wear something cozy, bring a mug of tea, and perhaps a candle to light. Be ready to relax and play with breathwork and intention to enhance your vitality. We will examine the concept of intention and occupation as described by Crabtree (2010) in the context of our clients and ourselves.

    Presented by: 

    Katrina Serwe

    Katrina Serwe, PhD, worked as a therapist, professor, and researcher in the field of occupational therapy for over two decades. Her research focused on caregiver wellness, telehealth, and evidence-based practice. In 2021 Serwe quit her day job to pursue a made-up occupation called poemwalking. She has shared some of her resulting poems in publications such as The Solitary Plover, Blue Heron Review, Bramble, Portage Magazine, and Scrawl Place, and even won a few awards including the Jade Ring in poetry (Wisconsin Writers Association, 2024) and the Muse Prize (Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets, second place, 2025). Serwe’s first collection of poetry, First Steps (Brain Mill Press), was published in May 2025. All the proceeds from this project are returning to the Ice Age National Scenic Trail to preserve more wild places for all of us. You can follow her journey at www.katrinaserwe.com.
