I visited @HouseMatthews in Alliston Monday morning to announce they will receive $1.128 million from the Ministry of Health, over 3 years, to fund community outreach projects to assist those living with life limiting illnesses and their caregivers.
Happy #WorldOTDay

Each of us can help create a culture of psychological safety: 1) Admit our own mistakes 2) Run lots of experiments to try out improvements 3) Make space to speak, be curious & say "I don't know" 4) Be patient - psychological safety takes time/effort/persistence. By @tom_geraghty

Checking in with caregivers is critical when visiting clients in the community. OTs can provide them with coping strategies and resources so that they can keep well and continuing caring for their loved one @OSOTvoice #OT365
On Family Day we are thinking of the vital care that caregivers provide. New research from @UAlberta: 8 million unpaid family caregivers contribute $97.1 billion to the Canadian Care Economy, representing 32.2% of national spending on health care. https://t.co/5xNCMat6Gp.
