Clinicians work with clients, families, and care partners, especially in the community. A lot of focus is on the client (rightfully so), but often we are not as well versed on assessing the care partners, especially the informal care partners. As occupational therapy professionals, we ourselves are givers of care, professionally, and we may also be prone to burnout in our own private and professional lives (Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care, 2024). By knowing potential signs or physical manifestations of burnout, this can help us tailor our approach for maximum impact.

This online course will equip occupational therapy professionals and students with a better understanding of self-regulation and strategies to support the self-regulation of children and youth using the presenter’s evidence-based BEST (Body, Emotional, Sensory and Thinking) strategies framework.

Many occupational therapists continuously identify an interest in fostering their skills or moving into new roles relating to leadership, however, there are few opportunities to enhance their abilities (Recigno et al., 2024).

Participants will be provided with an opportunity to explore, define, and build their personal leadership style.
