Tiny Wins: Empowering survivors through occupational therapy
Similar to mindfulness, intentional activity can establish purpose and renewed enthusiasm for living. For survivors of domestic violence, redefining purpose after an abusive relationship is a crucial step in healing and moving forward. To encourage that healing and facilitate client progress in purposeful living, Genesis recently launched an occupational therapy program that complements its support services for domestic violence survivors. Dr. Laura Rae, OTD, MBA, OTR, Assistant Professor of the University of St. Augustine shares how occupational therapy empowers women and children at Genesis through "tiny wins" that restore control over one's life and create pathways to both access and opportunity.
