In Canada the month of October is to celebrate Occupational Therapy!

Throughout this month we take the time to recognize and honor the work done by occupational therapists all over Canada. Although its main idea is to honour the work of therapists this month is also an opportunity to help people of all backgrounds overcome the barriers keeping them from seeking help when they need it. This month is to celebrate the work of therapists as well as break down the stigmas surrounding it.

Every year, on October 11th, we recognize this day as National Coming Out Day. This is a day to promote the 2SLGBTQIA+ visibility and support through allyship. We recognize the 2SLGBTQIA+ and the challenging process of coming out on October 11th because it marks the anniversary of the 1987 National mark on Washington for Le***an and Gay rights. We recognize the challenging process of coming out on this day and we create supporting spaces for those that are a part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community so that they can live their lives authentically.

ADHD is a learning difference that affects 5% to 12% of children globally. It also has symptoms that last into adulthood with 2.5% to 5% of adults having ADHD. During this month we share resources, break down stigmas and share knowledge surrounding ADHD.
