In Episode 44 of OT Conversations that Matter: The Podcast, host Justine Jecker is joined by Holly Reid, an Indigenous OT and PhD candidate, to explore collaborative relationship-focused occupational therapy. This approach emphasizes the importance of relational connections between therapists, individuals, and communities. Drawing from the Promoting Occupational Participation textbook, they discuss four key components: contextually relevant relationships, nuanced interactions, safety, and rights-based self-determination. Through personal and professional insights, they examine the meaning of being "in relationship," its evolution in OT education, essential relational protocols, and how relationships shape occupational engagement. Tune in for valuable perspectives on enhancing OT practice.
