Occupational Therapists for Environmental Action
We are a group of occupational therapy practitioners and students (OTPS) raising awareness about the impact of climate change on human health, wellness, and participation in meaningful occupations. We endeavor to collaborate with like-minded OTPS to address the ways in which human occupation can either contribute to or mitigate the worst effects of the climate crisis.
