STARTING TODAY: Housing Without Delay - a groundbreaking new project expanding beyond adaptations to the broader role of occupational therapists in housing! Commissioned by Royal College of Occupational Therapists, conducted by Foundations, sponsored by @Closomat. #HousingWithoutDelay

Excited to announce we're working with the Royal College of Occupational Therapists on Housing Without Delay! As OTs, we know housing is fundamental to our clients' wellbeing. Follow for updates on our progress and ways you can get involved. #OccupationalTherapy #HousingWithoutDelay
