WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Very informative for myself, especially for an OT that is new to psychosocial disability, well educated on how to navigate NDIS and mental health. Very experienced presenter with a wealth of knowledge.
This was exactly the webinar I needed to hear from a senior MHOT confident in her skills and what the profession brings to the table. Thank you!
