      <title>Mental Health SIS MH SIS for August: Trauma-Informed Care across practice environments (5 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Title: Trauma-Informed Care across practice environments&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Description:&amp;nbsp; Trauma often goes unrecognized as a significant barrier to occupational engagement and progress in therapy.&amp;nbsp; As holistic practitioners, OTPs can lead the way in interprofessional education, motivational interviewing techniques, and introducing coping strategies to support clients in all practice environments and across the lifespan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Contact hours available after evaluation/attestation of attendance is completed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;style&gt;&lt;/style&gt;

The event will feature engaging guest speakers, hands-on sessions, and a curated vendor showcase, making it an ideal opportunity to connect with clinicians passionate about improving lives through occupational therapy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are currently seeking &lt;strong&gt;sponsors and exhibitors&lt;/strong&gt; whose services, products, or missions align with our field.
