The World Health Organization (WHO) has
developed a Global
Strategy and Action Plan on Ageing and Health and they’ve reached out to
the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) for more information
about the role of occupational therapy in developing age-friendly communities.
Age-friendly communities allow seniors to “live
safely, enjoy good health, and stay involved” as active and valued members
of those communities.
At the request of the WFOT, CAOT will
complete and submit a survey that outlines occupational therapy contributions
in designing and developing age-friendly cities, but we need your help!
Are you an OT involved in designing,
developing, or promoting age-friendly cities?
Maybe you collaborate to improve accessibility, provide assistive
technology, promote safety, or develop policies that ensure seniors are
actively involved, valued, and supported in age-friendly environments?
You can help! Please contact CAOT-BC Fieldwork student Alana Marshall (amarshall@caot.ca) no later than Friday,
February 23rd to answer a few questions or provide your insights
into OT roles in age-friendly cities.
