At the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center, OTTP-NorCal clinicians bring trauma-informed occupational therapy, and lived experiences, into every session. Clinicians like Tamica C. Edwards, OTD, draw on personal insight and professional training to help youth build regulation, confidence, and a sense of possibility, reminding them they are more than their circumstances and that their story is still being written.

We’re proud to celebrate Tenaya Jo, OTR/L, who was selected to present at the Occupational Therapy Association of California Conference on their topic: Occupational Therapy for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Clients Post Gender Affirming Surgery.

Tenaya’s work began as a 500-hour doctoral capstone project, where they created a comprehensive 70-page resource to help occupational therapists support clients before and after surgery.

“As a transgender individual who has had gender-affirming surgery, I noticed a lot of gaps in my care once I was sent home. While in occupational therapy school, I realized that an occupational therapist would have been the perfect person to help me prepare for surgery and support my recovery. It is important to me to continue to support my trans community, and researching and creating this booklet felt like a meaningful way to do that.”

We’re honored to have clinicians like Tenaya, whose lived experience, compassion, and advocacy strengthen our community and the youth we serve.

Thank you to the VMware by Broadcom team for visiting our San Francisco office to wrap over 150 gifts for our Holiday Gift Drive!

This marks the fourth year the team, led by Sheeva Banisalam, Sales Leader and Regional Director, has supported OTTP-NorCal, with gift-wrapping presents purchased by donors through the Holiday Gift Drive. Over the past four years, they’ve wrapped an estimated 1,000 gifts for youth across all of our programs. They show up year after year to ensure children and teens experience care, dignity, and joy during the holidays.

In their first year, the team also took on a major behind-the-scenes project, transforming our San Francisco supply room by sorting, organizing arts and crafts supplies and carefully arranging clothing by size. The work that continues to benefit our therapists and youth today.

Their dedication, teamwork, and attention to detail ensure that every young person we serve has a meaningful gift to open this holiday season. This is the power of community partnership, and we are grateful for their continued support.

We were grateful to welcome the Kelly Crawford Team, a 2025 Platinum Sponsor, to our San Francisco office to help wrap gifts for our Holiday Gift Drive!

Kelly Crawford, Realtor at Vanguard Properties, shared what inspired his team to volunteer:

“It was such a great opportunity to learn more about OTTP and the youth they serve, help out a bit with brightening the holidays, and get a chance to learn how we can do more. We make our living selling homes. Homes are in communities. Communities flourish when the people in and around them thrive.”

Because of their support, youth in our programs will have thoughtful, beautifully wrapped gifts to open this holiday season.

Thank you, Kelly Crawford Team, for helping create moments of joy for the young people we serve.

Tenaya Jo, OTD, Mental Health Rehabilitation Specialist, works on OTTP-NorCal’s Early Childhood Mental Health Collaborative. Tenaya provides occupational therapy services to children ages 3–5, their families, and staff across 13 OUSD Early Childhood Education sites.

They recently created a Sensory Integration worksheet that breaks down what the 8 senses look like in a classroom, the behaviors that may signal challenges with sensory regulation, and practical strategies teachers, therapists, and staff can use to support children in the moment.

As National Family Caregivers Month comes to a close, we’re reminded that caregiver support shouldn’t be limited to just one month. 💜 To truly support youth, we must start with the caregivers who shape their everyday world.

Caregiver burnout is real and can deeply affect both the caregiver and the child. Andrea Hernandez, OTR/L, Occupational Therapist & Vocational Specialist, created an educational presentation on caregiver burnout, its impact on children, and practical self-care tips and resources for caregivers.

Let’s continue to honor and support caregivers all year long.
