The NZ Rehabilitation Association [NZRA] invites you to join us for a Rehab Conversation.

We run these free online 'Rehab Conversations' several times throughout the year - to gather, to connect, to share ideas, and to support each other in our learning and practice. Please share this invitation widely within your networks.

Supporting Client Motivation: Why the “Why” Matters in Rehabilitation

Presented through the lens of Self-Determination Theory, we'll have a fresh look at motivation in rehabilitation — exploring what drives engagement, why it's important, how to support it, and whether we should rethink our current approaches.

Date: Monday 29th September, 12pm - 12.50pm

Speaker: Megan Sigouin 

Megan Sigouin is a Canadian occupational therapist and PhD student with the Rehabilitation Teaching and Research Unit at the University of Otago, New Zealand. She has an eclectic professional background, having worked in hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, and community programs across a wide range of practice areas throughout Canada. The majority of her clinical experience is in community stroke rehabilitation, which, along with Occupational Performance Coaching,  is the focus of her doctoral research.

Where: Online via Zoom
