OT Now Call for Papers: "Get Prepared!"

OT Now is accepting submissions for a Special Issue: "Get Prepared!"

Life presents itself with many transitions and stressors, some planned (e.g., starting school) and some unanticipated (e.g., car accident). It is important to prepare for these events, as much as possible, to minimize the occupational disruption that can result from them. Being prepared empowers individuals/groups and builds resilience, which can be defined as “the ability of people, communities, countries, and systems to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from shocks and stresses” (USAID, 2015, p.1). Occupational therapists can play an important role in preparedness - for clients, themselves, and their own careers. This special issue of OT Now will explore the role of occupational therapists in the realm of preparedness.

Deadline for submissions: October 1, 2017
