In this episode of Occupied, Jess sits down with Adam Lo OAM to explore an inspiring career spanning clinical practice, leadership, advocacy, and the arts.
Adam shares his experiences working in Child and Youth Mental Health Services (CYMHS) and discusses the unique role occupational therapists play in supporting children, young people, and their families. We also dive into his passion for the creative arts, including the development of arts festivals that celebrate inclusion, participation, and community connection in Logan, Queensland.
The conversation also explores Adam’s leadership within Occupational Therapy Australia, where he has served as Australia’s World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) Delegate. Together, we discuss the importance of international collaboration, professional advocacy, and what the future holds for occupational therapy both in Australia and around the world.
Whether you’re an occupational therapist, allied health professional, student, or simply passionate about mental health and creative practice, this episode offers valuable insights into leadership, innovation, and the power of occupation.Leading with Creativity and Advocacy: Adam Lo OAM
