It’s World Mental Health Day, and we consider our children’s psychological wellbeing on par with their physical health. As Thomas, one of our Occupational Therapists says, our model of care involves ‘creating a healthcare environment where the well-being of individuals is protected from harm at all times. This means not only preventing physical injury or errors during treatment but also safeguarding the emotional, psychological, and spiritual health of patients.’ #HighLoveLowCost #TransformingChildhood #WorldMentalHealthDay #ChildrensWellbeing #HealthcareEnvironment #MentalHealthAwareness #WellnessJourney #PatientCare

Employers seem to be rushing to train workers in mental health first aid to meet new workplace psychosocial safety obligations. But MHFA is not a course about harm prevention. MHFA is not a waste of money, but nor is it compliance with the new laws. https://lnkd.in/g2UG4yvk #mentalhealthfirstaid #OHS #WHS #psychosocialhazards #psychosocialsafety #mentalhealthatwork #workplacetraining #harmprevention #earlyintervention

In this article, I opted to share a bit of why I write so much about boundaries, burnout and vicarious trauma, and three things to keep in mind if your helping work involves exposure to traumatic stories or events.

How many occupational therapy-related words can you spot in this conclusion from a 2024 cross-sectional study on CRPS? 😊 The study highlights the challenges faced by individuals with CRPS, including pain, sleeping problems, and mental health impacts. It also emphasises the importance of addressing biopsychosocial aspects in clinical practice. This also supports the findings of the CRPS: Practical Diagnostic and Treatment Guidelines (2022), which stated that OTs are perfectly positioned as therapeutic leaders in the functional restoration process. #OccupationalTherapy #CRPS #ChronicPainManagement

Why choose #OccupationalTherapy as YOUR profession? Join #OccupationalTherapyAssistant Harleigh as she reflects on her journey: "I chose OT after visiting my great-grandmother while she was at an inpatient rehabilitation facility recovering from a stroke and watching her during an occupational therapy session. What struck me as so different and special about OT compared to any other therapy discipline was how it incorporates mental health/cognitive factors along with the physical impairments to address each person as a whole rather than only certain aspects while neglecting the rest."
