March 3 | 2:00 pm-3:00 pm
This webinar introduces occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) to social prescribing as an innovative response to the growing loneliness epidemic. Grounded in principles of occupational science, social prescribing connects individuals to meaningful, non-clinical, community-based activities—such as art, nature, movement, social connection, and service—to enhance participation, improve wellbeing, and reduce social isolation. Participants will explore core principles, global and US models, and the critical yet underutilized role of OTPs, while gaining actionable strategies to integrate social prescribing into occupational therapy practice.
Celebrate occupational therapy all year long!
Though OT Month will continue to be commemorated each April, we believe that the profession deserves year-round celebration in honor of its profound and often life-changing impact on the lives of patients, caregivers, and communities it serves.
