Greener practice, better outcomes involves helping people recognise the benefits of sustainability for our health.
That's why I've been working on an OT intervention programme which includes the topic 'Protecting our Environment'.
It's the right time for this.

I rarely read OTnews from cover to cover, but the current issue in Black History Month was an exception.

I received the French translation of Recovery through Activity while my big brother was over on a visit from his home in France.

Super happy to have this photo forwarded to me of a poster at the recent AOTI conference about a successful (Re)Discovery programme (based on Recovery through Activity) for transgender adults by the National Gender Service.

Really interesting to learn how a crisis service has successfully condensed the 12 topics in Recovery through Activity into 3 sessions.

Some lovely articles in OTnews this month, including this one detailing how the Worker Role Interview was used to establish a baseline for vocational engagement and to inform individualised goals
