Resources include new and updated video presentations to explain the use of advocacy; Innovation Change Agency Narratives to illustrate how advocacy has created positive change in our profession; tools and resources that help with engaging in advocacy; and World Occupational Therapy Day products to promote awareness of occupational therapy.

World Health Assembly Rehabilitation Resolution

The landmark Resolution, Strengthening rehabilitation in health systems, was adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) at the World Health Assembly in May 2023. A guidance note was developed by international organisations, including WFOT to support the translation of this Resolution into advocacy. The goal of the advocacy is to promote the inclusion of occupational therapy and other rehabilitation services within universal health coverage. For more information, go to the WFOT website.
