Par Fore

Alexander Lopez, JD, OTR/L, from Stony Brook University's occupational therapy program developed a golf mentoring program called Par Fore

Perseverance
Accountability
Resiliency

Fellowship
Opportunity
Respect
Empowerment

This program was designed for at-risk adolescents living in environments that foster destructive behavior. It is designed to help them develop self-esteem, self-empowerment, productive social skills, and constructive behaviors.

Mr. Lopez was a guest speaker in my Community Practice class. His program speaks to endless possibilities OTs have when working with clients.
