A band 6 OT role has come up in our amazing Telford community mental health service. Please share (or, better yet, apply!).

Same to you! Sometimes we forget our own mental health is fragile, and my Monday and Tuesday brain is a-swirling!

All the best from Staffordshire and Shropshire!

Working in mental health can be so rewarding, but some days are just really hard.
Look after yourselves everyone, it's a tough time of year for many - including us practitioners!

‘You tried to tell yourself I wasn’t real’: what happens when people with acute psychosis meet the voices in their heads? – podcast In avatar therapy, a clinician gives voice to their patients’ inner demons. For some of the participants in a new trial, the results have been astounding. By Jenny Kleeman

We've not had many new psychosis interventions since the 1950s, so this discussion relating to a new piloted approach is pretty interesting (when listened to with a cautious ear, of course).

Those of us who work with #mentalhealth often overlook our own mental health.

As a man with a diagnosis #depression, I know that today is going to be a hard day.

If you're battling difficulties today - you are not alone. Be kind to yourselves. Help is out there, and we care. #mentalhealthmatters

Away Day for the #mentalhealth team today in Telford. Celebrating #occupationaltherapy #nursing #psychiatrist and #supportworker. We made some mugs. Badly.

Fantastic talk about the power of hope in occupational therapy practice at the #OTshow today.

Inspiring and positive messages in stark contrast to the doom and gloom of under-resourcing and waiting lists!

Fantastic! Hope to see you there! I'll be with my team and we have a hastily put together poster haha. Pop over and say hello!

#OTShow tomorrow! Who's there and are you showcasing anything?

'Refused service again with my guide dog, I'm done speaking out' Sean Dilley is inundated with abuse on social media whenever he posts about discrimination issues.

Another upsetting example of people being disabled by the actions of others. Nobody should be denied service because they require a reasonable adaptation to access said service.

I'm one of them! A great MHOT community seems to be building already!

Thank you sweetheart 😘 xx

Wow! This is amazing, I just graduated too - but what a story of success against adversity! Congratulations!!

Thank you all for the kind messages following my graduation. Here's some snaps from the day, with a silly hat that makes me look bald. #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #graduation

Despite working for some time as a registered OT, tomorrow I will finally graduate with a First Class Honours Degree in Occupational Therapy with Endeavour Award.

I barely passed school, struggled with finances and mental health problems - but I made it.

Onwards!

Fantastic! Your role looks very interesting, we recently won an award for creating an ND inclusive OT clinic in Telford and always looking to improve. Seems like BlueSky might be the place to be!

Moved away from X a long time ago. Everything's happening on BlueSky! Where are my fellow Occupational Therapists?
