Join Hailey and OT Tay Amin-Arsala in the last episode of season 1 of Occupations Unpacked! In this episode they break down the complexity of advocacy within the healthcare field and how we take this basis of knowledge around substance use and utilize it to support transformative change.  Tay provides some valuable information on their experience and what it looks like to navigate the advocacy field. 

Join Hailey and Dr. Amy Lynch as we dive deep into how trauma impacts communities that experience stigmatization and what that means for healthcare professionals. Listen to some great tools for how to create a space where clients can feel safe to engage in a therapeutic alliance and how reflection within ourselves leads to a more trauma-informed practice. This episode goes into why we need to meet clients where they are and the importance of advocacy and research in these fields!
