If you have a passion for helping others regain their abilities and a desire to make a positive impact, GCOM offers an opportunity to serve in Haiti and contribute to the well-being of the Haitian people. In this blog post, we will explore how you can answer the call and serve with GCOM to provide occupational and physical therapy services, bringing hope and healing to the Haitian community.

Rehabilitation Challenges in Haiti

Haiti faces significant rehabilitation challenges, including limited access to occupational and physical therapy services, inadequate resources, and a lack of trained professionals. As an occupational or physical therapy student, your knowledge and skills can play a crucial role in addressing these challenges. GCOM welcomes individuals who are passionate about rehabilitation and can contribute to improving the lives of the Haitian people.

Individualized Therapy Sessions

Serving with GCOM in Haiti provides occupational and physical therapy students with the opportunity to provide individualized therapy sessions. By assessing individuals’ functional abilities and limitations, you can develop personalized treatment plans to help them regain independence and improve their quality of life. Your expertise in therapeutic techniques and adaptive equipment can make a significant difference in the lives of those who lack access to these services.

Community-Based Rehabilitation

GCOM recognizes the importance of community-based rehabilitation in promoting inclusion and participation for individuals with disabilities. As an occupational or physical therapy student serving with GCOM, you will have the opportunity to work with local communities, schools, and organizations to provide therapy services and promote accessibility. By collaborating with community members, you can help create an environment that supports the inclusion and empowerment of individuals with disabilities.

Assistive Device Provision

Access to assistive devices is crucial for individuals with disabilities to enhance their independence and participation in daily activities. GCOM aims to provide assistive devices to those in need in Haiti. As an occupational or physical therapy student, you can contribute to the assessment, fitting, and training of individuals on the use of assistive devices. Your expertise can help individuals regain mobility, improve their functional abilities, and enhance their overall well-being.

Capacity Building and Training

GCOM believes in the power of capacity building and training to create sustainable change. As an occupational or physical therapy student serving with GCOM, you will have the opportunity to train local healthcare providers and community members on rehabilitation techniques and strategies. By sharing your knowledge and skills, you can empower Haitians to continue providing therapy services and support within their communities even after your service with GCOM concludes.

God’s Chosen Ones Ministry (GCOM) invites occupational and physical therapy students to answer the call and serve in Haiti, providing rehabilitation services and support. Through individualized therapy sessions, community-based rehabilitation, assistive device provision, capacity building, and training, you can make a lasting impact on the independence and quality of life of the Haitian people.
