About The OT Brunch Series

The OT Brunch is a series of monthly online gatherings with health experts in the OT field, hosted by Lee Maitz OT. These brunches are an opportunity to come together with authenticity and connection as though we were sitting around a table, learning, sharing and collaborating.

Each month from February to November 2021, I will be hosting a virtual “brunch”, each with a guest speaker, an expert in our field, to share their knowledge and perspectives on a range of topics as a basis for discussion. Following each brunch, I have scheduled two Community of Practice sessions. The first session will be an opportunity to reflect and debrief. The second session will provide a platform to share and discuss ideas, activities and practice.

I welcome you to this space where we can come together with an open mind to learn, share and collaborate as we navigate our way on our OT journeys, and an opportunity to connect in a time that connection is so restricted.

Community of Practice 1: July 13, 2021 | 9am (Sydney, NSW time) | Online event
