Advocacy
Mental Health
Advocated for mental health and occupational therapy's role in mental health. Addressed advocacy topics on Saginaw Valley State University's campus and through social media sharing. We utilized a hashtag of #BreakTheStigma to advocate for change in the stigma placed on mental health disorders, and advocated that not every disability is visible.
Referral Program
Will be creating a referral program to advocate for occupational therapy. The purpose is to educate others about what occupational therapy is, where we can work, and other basic information to get our professions name out there.
Through use of a website individuals can obtain this information. The link will be given to people through a referral system. At the end of the website there will be a quiz and a spot to put who referred you to the website. Whoever gets the most referrals will win a Visa gift card.
