Love seeing OTs in action!

On World Occupational Therapy day this is what OT in action looks like: at my computer contributing to the important behind-the-scenes work of building research evidence; teaching, coaching & consulting to support OTs & students in collaborative, occupation-focussed therapy approaches. #WorldOTDay

A recent reflective article on the impact of GLP-1 medications (#Mounjaro #Wegovy etc) on occupational participation, drawing parallels with #addiction treatment and questioning how we frame obesity.

I just ran my last ‘creative self’ group as we cut the programme,heading into service consultation over closure. Poignant to end on ‘becoming’…what are you leaving behind,what are you taking forward.
Attendees have brought tears to my eyes with what they’ve shared in group. A privilege & sadness.

I rarely read OTnews from cover to cover, but the current issue in Black History Month was an exception.
I was struck by Kalimah Ibrahim's article describing the value of cultural humility - 'recognising the limits of one's worldview ... valuing difference and seeking to co-create solutions'.
