Today I asked staff and patients about their meaningful occupations and how they make them feel 🥰 this opened up some lovely discussion about how to use our meaningful occupations to support our mental health and wellbeing. #OTWeek
Helen trained as a physiotherapist, and the skills she gained have helped her move into a leadership role at @NottsHealthcare.

Helen says: “Training as a physiotherapist has allowed me to transition into a leadership role where I champion all AHPs. There are so many varied paths when you choose an AHP career.”
Great to hear OT Lola from @mhsopcityteam joining the conversations around how our MH services support people from diverse cultural backgrounds on Kemet, Faza and Dawn FM radio. Can’t seem to get the links on here, but she was brilliant 🤩 #AHPsDay@AHPsNottsHC

Occupational Therapists seek out what holds meaning for people - making them imperative within many services, but especially within mental health #AHPsDay#AHPsInMH
Rhian is a music therapist at @NottsHealthcare , working with young people to help them express themselves through music. Here she shares the favourite parts of her work.

Rhian says: “What I enjoy the most about my job is the variety of young people I see each day, and making connections within musical play, singing or song writing. It is so rewarding to help them on their recovery journey, seeing their confidence and self-esteem grow, along with improved mood and better sense of well-being.”
Our OTs & physio at Newark have recently been supporting people with depression, anxiety, trauma, delusions, suicidal thoughts & dementia. They work in a person-centred way to find out what matters to individuals to help them through their recovery #AHPsDay#ValueofAHPsinMH
Really good to be able to show one of our @NottsGovernors around some of of mental health services last week, to demonstrate what our AHPs do and how they are integral to the recovery journey of our patients. Thanks @aimee_aubeeluck for your time ⭐️ #AHPsDay#AHPsinMH
Our CSW’s enjoyed an informative day at the MHSOP CSW forum. Wellbeing, Record Keeping and an equipment demonstration, great to see everyone so engaged during #AHPWeek2023
