2174

Dr. Robin Akselrud, assistant professor of occupational therapy, recently released a 2021 mindfulness/motivational planner, the My OT Journey Planner. The planner, specific to occupational therapy, allows students and practitioners to organize classwork, assignments, personal and professional commitments, and can be used as a tool to track and maintain mental and physical health. Dr. Akselrud included mindfulness, personal development and self-care tips in the planner based on research that showed adverse mental health outcomes for young adults and essential workers during 2020.
