Les inscriptions sont closes
Occupational justice is an emerging and evolving concept within the field of occupational therapy as well as in some health professions.
Occupational justice refers to the affordances, opportunities, and possibilities given to people and groups to participate in everyday activities as part of survival, health, and wellbeing. Occupational therapists are recognized professionals to facilitate inclusive participation of all people without prejudice and to promote occupational justice considering people’s circumstances. In this session, we will be discussing how we can translate occupational justice concepts into tools of practice when working with people and groups as they navigate their everyday lives.
The goal of the session is as follows:
- Discuss the evolving concept of occupational justice from a developing world perspective.
- Introduce the Occupational Justice Health Questionnaire as a tool for practice in occupational therapy, disability work, and justice work.
- Share examples of how occupational justice concepts can be translated into practice application within and beyond occupational therapy.
The presentation will be in English. This conference can be followed online
