@HannahKayOT @CompMindFound You would love it Hannah! Highly recommend! Will be doing a CPD on it in February!

Fantastic 3 day training with @CompMindFound, introduction to compassion focussed therapy! Truly inspiring; so many ideas for clinical practice and my personal life! 💗🌸

@HannahKayOT Sounds great, @BethmanningOT and I are actually starting a recovery through activity group in low secure services next week. Would be great to keep in touch and happy to share any feedback from the group if that's helpful!

Lovely low secure away day @ForensicOT_ELFT, feeling very connected as a team after a day of celebrating each others strengths! #forensicot @RWallisOT

Celebrating the rich cultural backgrounds, heritage and connections our @ElftOt s have.

Planning the CPD sessions for @ForensicOT_ELFT does anyone have any recommendations for guest speakers and training?

@HannahKayOT @ShareClaw Yes! @RWallisOT and I were thinking the same! It was very powerful!

Feeling so inspired after joining this workshop, thank you @ShareClaw #forensicOT

Sharing this with permission from our group members. A project we worked on in our #hearingvoicesgroup , our group members wanted these thoughts shared widely! Zoom in to read more clearly @ForensicOT_ELFT

If the most deprived households in England followed the NHS Healthy eating guide they would spend 75% of their income on food! #OTweek2021 #OTsForEquity This isn't an environment that promotes everyone functioning!

Loxford ward celebrated black history month today with delicious food, drumming & music, displaying black history month themed art and presentations on black history and important figures! #BlackHistoryMonth

Three wheels are better than two! Meet our coffee trike. A vocational project for service users to learn new skills and gain employment experience (Plus, coffee 😋)

2/2 getting a detailed handover from the patient's #occupationaltherapist was essential in painting a picture of a person over their forensic label. More joint up working like this is vital when supporting older forensic patients in need of physical care. @ForensicOT_ELFT

It's nearly 20 years since we published 'Breaking the Circles of Fear', about the relationship between #MentalHealth services and African and Caribbean communities - but the findings are sadly still incredibly relevant: centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/b… #BlackHistoryMonth

Kicking off Black History Month at ELFT Wolfson House with our introductory seminar. We are working with Recovery College to support our service users to join the discussion, too! @elft_bame #BlackHistoryMonth

We asked Emma what is the best mental health advice you've been given? This is what she told us. "We will hold onto the hope for you until you feel that you can hold onto it yourself."

@ForensicOT_ELFT We utilize everyday activities as a therapeutic medium. Because these are familiar, they often appear easy or simple, which belies the complex physical and psychosocial requirements and need to be able to participate in our occupations.

#SayHerName RIP Sabine Nessa

A benefit of being a rotational #OccupationalTherapist is you develop a wide network of different OTs. Today @OtMorven, whom I first met at @EldersHuh, attended our ward round & then I spoke to @BethmanningOT from @ForensicOT_ELFT for a patient handover re: interests & activities
