This semester has helped me gain knowledge about the context of occupation; covering social and occupational injustices, exploring the multiple levels (micro/meso/macro), the enablement foundations and how this is all applied to practice. #OENV18
As OT's, it is important to understand that the personal factors of the practice context, the enablement foundations and the critical awareness we apply to practice is what underpins and guides our practice to ensure that it allows for client-centred collaboration #OENV18
Such an interesting story shared by Mya this week in class and her experience with health professionals. Especially the importance of enablement foundations, such as power sharing from Occupational therapists along her journey; allowing for client-centered collaboration. #OENV18

After watching Growing Up Poor - 4 Corners, this video emphasises how environmental factors can heavily influence occupations for children. For example, their education is something which is heavily impacted by their parents ability to provide for them. #OENV18

Land dispossession has significantly threatened livelihoods and food security, contributing to a burden of disease. These factors set up health inequities in a context of disabling poverty.
What’s your view? Is it a great opportunity for inmates? Or is it providing a false sense of hope knowing they’ll never have the opportunity to preform an occupation they might find meaning behind once released? #OENV18 globalnews.ca/news/4387114/c…

There is not a single issue, whether it be health care, paid leave, immigration, climate change, education, or voting, that does not impact the 1 in 5 Americans that lives with a disability.
African Americans are responding on Twitter with a new powerful message: discussing the indignities they experience in everyday life, where racial profiling and disparities persist despite promises by the nation's officials to crack down on them. #OENV18 #alivewhileblack
