Ivory Rose, OTD, OTR/L: OT in Social Prescribing

In this episode, we will learn from Ivory Rose, OTD, OTR/L Dr. Ivory Rose is an occupational therapist and a poet who promotes Social Prescribing. She holds a master’s in occupational therapy from NYU and a post-professional doctorate in occupational therapy from Boston University. Her passion for “prescribed volunteerism” led her to the field of social prescribing. She has volunteered in various capacities for Social Prescribing USA and enjoys raising awareness amongst occupational therapists about the “hot topic” of social prescribing. Some of her favorite occupations include writing, spoken word poetry, walking in nature, and horseback riding. Ivory has been writing since she was 7 years old and credits the development of her imagination as a writer to her greatest childhood complaint: growing up in rural Van Zandt, Washington without a television. Eager to experience the world outside of her hometown, Ivory has lived in Atlanta, New York City, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic before settling in the greater Los Angeles area.Contact & Resources:My substack newsletter: https://otsocialprescribing.substack.com/Email address: [email protected] website: www.ivoryhazelrose.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ivoryhazelrose To view my poster from the International Social Prescribing Conference: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0d1d2400-aa51-4d86-992a-b25e1a339b24_4494x3179.png?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=emailTo purchase the book The Connection Cure by Julia Hotz (mentioned above): https://www.socialprescribing.co/connection-cureIf you are interested in supporting the roll out of social prescribing in the U.S., join the community of practice at Social Prescribing USA at https://socialprescribingusa.com/ (Click on “Join the Movement”).As always, I welcome any feedback & ideas from all of you or if you are interested in being a guest on future episodes, please do not hesitate to contact Patricia Motus at [email protected] or DM via Instagram @transitionsotTHANK YOU for LISTENING, FOLLOWING, DOWNLOADING, RATING, REVIEWING & SHARING “The Uncommon OT Series” Podcast with all your OTP friends and colleagues!Full Episodes and Q & A only available at:https://www.wholistic-transitions.com/the-uncommon-ot-seriesSign Up NOW for the Transitions OT Email List to Receive the FREE Updated List of Uncommon OT Practice Settingshttps://www.wholistic-transitions.com/transitionsotFor Non-Traditional OT Practice Mentorship w/ Patricia:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeC3vI5OnK3mLrCXACEex-5ReO8uUVPo1EUXIi8FKO-FCfoEg/viewformBIG THANKS to our sponsors Picmonic & TruelearnUSE DISCOUNT CODE “TransitionsOT” to Score 20% OFF Your Membership Today!Happy Listening Friends!Big OT Love!All views are mine and guests own.
