About Dolphin

DOLPHIN is a world-wide network of 'DOLPHIN fellows' — occupational therapists who are

committed to utilise and share their professional skills and resources, in order to
improve the access of marginalised individuals or groups in society to occupational opportunities which enhance their potential and well-being, by
developing innovative grass-roots occupational therapy services.

This is achieved through

networking and collaboration;
developing and implementing occupational therapy services;
engaging in evidence based research; and
promoting greater awareness and involvement within the profession,particularly through training institutions.

Some DOLPHIN projects include

a preventative mental health project for children and adolescent victims of war in Kosovo, in collaboration with Doctors Without Borders (1999);
a research study about the role of occupational therapy with street children in Mexico (1999); and
occupational therapy intervention with refugees in Guatemala(1995).
