Do you feel burnt out? Or... is it actually moral distress from working in systems that prevent the "right thing" being done for your patients?
Join us for the Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Association Mental Health Special Interest Section (MHSIS) journal club this coming Monday, 2/23 at 6:30 PM.
We will talk about Loyal et al. (2025)'s article on moral distress in healthcare, the harms of institutional push for individualized self-care, and what we can do about it.

We have a few boxes of know your rights cards.
I ordered them for outreach/homeless healthcare to distribute if desired (they are in the 2AC back office next to the OT closet), but folks in Pittsburgh please reach out if you want a bundle to share with your community. If we run out we will get or make more. It feels a little futile, but here's to hoping that having a little more information on hand can make a small difference.

We support the Allegheny County Council proposed ordinance 13809-26, which would prohibit county cooperation with ICE. Accessing human and healthcare services is vulnerable enough, and the people we support deserve their privacy and safety to be protected.

So excited to have another round of OTD capstone students in 2026!
And everyone squatted down to my height 😂

Next Tuesday, December 2nd 2025, support us during GiveBig Pittsburgh at bit.ly/GBOT25. Your donations make it possible for us to provide community-based occupational therapy meeting people where they are outdoors, in shelter, and in housing. Our evidence-based, equitable rehab care for people experiencing homelessness with physical, mental health, and cognitive disabilities bridges the gap from survival to long-term transition out of homelessness: to get housed and STAY housed.

Talk about occupational injustice, deprivation, and hierarchy of needs.

Save the date! On Tuesday December 2nd 2025 we are participating in Give Big Pittsburgh.
We are a small nonprofit of just 3 occupational therapists serving people across Allegheny County experiencing homelessness.

The journey out of homelessness doesn’t end with keys to a door. We see people outdoors, in shelter, AND follow into housing. Continuity across settings is key to build trust, resources, and skills to actually stay housed for a permanent transition out of homelessness.
Funds support operational costs, occupational therapy services, and supplies for skills training keep housing such as cleaning, cooking, adaptive equipment, and more.

We hope you consider supporting us next month at https://bit.ly/GBOT25

This is how we use the full scope of occupational therapy: housing transitions and daily routine development, neurorehabilitation of physical conditions, getting back to activities (hiking!) that give you purpose and meaning in life, all while enjoying the Pittsburgh fall leaves 🍂

🎃 the horrors persist but so do we 👻
Our twice-a-week occupational therapy groups in Second Avenue Commons are our lowest barrier option of Outreach Therapy support, no referral needed. This week's groups planned and threw a shelter-wide Halloween party, with Jordann in a banana costume and more pizzas than I can count.

Outreach Therapy is growing from 1 to 3 occupational therapists!
Rachael and Jordann, OT interns from this past year, are joining part-time. They are continuing group programming developed in their capstones and once all our paperwork is in order they will be starting individual sessions to expand our capacity (aka to start tackling our waitlist of referrals that I've been behind on).

We are so lucky to be surrounded by patients, clinicians, and organizations that speak about, value (and fund!) the role of OT, disability care, and support for successful transitions out of homelessness. In a world that is actively harming and criminalizing the people we care for, there's hope in building community and doing this work every day we can.

Keeping with the cooking theme... Here's from yesterday's cooking group, community BBQ outside of Second Avenue Commons 🍔🌭
Everything from planning the event, what items and food are needed, flyer-making and distribution, setting up the grill, taking orders, cooking, and DJing -- all amazing skills from everyone that joined in this week!
