Join us for an engaging and interactive workshop designed to enhance collaboration between occupational therapy (OT) and social work. This workshop aims to equip participants with the skills and knowledge on the importance of bridging the gap between these two disciplines, ultimately leading to improved client outcomes.

By the end of this workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding of how to work collaboratively across disciplines, leading to more holistic and effective assessments and support.
