🧶🧶🧶🧶

National Deafblind Awareness Month creates an opportunity to celebrate and recognize the contributions of Canadians who are deafblind. 

Each year, Canadians who are deafblind, service providers and supporters come together to “make a wave from coast to coast” to raise awareness through various activities and events.

Thanks for bringing a little extra whimsy & awareness to our communities @deafblindnetworkofontario @deafblindon

This month, we’ll be hosting facilitator Nemi Adok This month, we’ll be hosting facilitator Nemi Adoki from The 9&5 Consulting to discuss practice sustainability for clinicians. Session objectives include: 

1. Identify common operational pressures that can affect sustainability in private, independent, or small-practice settings.

2. Distinguish between workload challenges and workflow or systems-design challenges.

3. Reflect on how workflow clarity, task definition, communication pathways, and routine practice structures can support stable and ethical service delivery.

4. Explore practical approaches to organizing the administrative side of therapeutic practice so clinicians can focus more fully on their core work.

5. Consider simple operational systems and routines that may support more consistent practice management.

April 22nd is Earth Day. We’ve started a list of April 22nd is Earth Day. 

We’ve started a list of earth-friendly art therapy studio practises for practitioners. What would you add to this list? 

• What simple swaps have you made in your personal or therapeutic art studio? 

• How do you reduce, reuse and recycle in the art therapy studio?
