OTA are Pleased to Announce a new book, titled:

Doing Our Best: Individual and Community Responses to Challenging Times  

A brutal bushfire season, ongoing drought, a pandemic that has so far lasted for more than two years, and once-in-100-year floods coming twice in a month: these are the challenging scenarios many Australians have lived through in recent years.   

As individuals, families and communities we’ve been forced to respond and adapt. This adaptation is far from over. 

So what can we learn from our individual and collective responses to challenging times? How have everyday Australians adapted? What did they do that enabled them to not just cope, but in some cases thrive against the odds? 

These are some of the questions explored in the stories of ‘Doing Our Best: Individual and Community Responses to Challenging Times’ - a new book from Occupational Therapy Australia. 

Drawing on diverse voices and experiences, the book showcases how our fellow Australians have come to add meaning to their lives during challenging times. 

The hard-cover coffee table book is now available to order for a limited time.

 Access to the digital version is complimentary for OTA members.
