Today is World Occupational Therapy Day. This year's theme 'Occupational Therapy in Action' highlights the active efforts of occupational therapists to engage people in meaningful activities #WorldOccupationalTherapyDay #OccupationalTherapyInAction #ValueofOT #OccupationalTherapy

It's fair to say both of our Wellbeing Groups had a real challenge with the August papercraft activities...& that it wasn't everyone's cup of tea! We still had a lovely afternoon chatting over a cuppa & biscuits, planning together for future sessions & sharing interests & hobbies

Missed posting this earlier in the week, but here it is - better late than never 😊 If you'd like to know more about any of our groups please get in touch! 📞📩

Catching up with some photos from some of our summer groups 😊 Our Wollaston Wellbeing group got really creative with some pebble painting, some great results 🎨 #pebblepainting #connectingwithothers #creativeactivities #wellbeing #livingwellot #wollaston #CreativityForWellbeing

Our Cognition Cafe group enjoyed craft activities & sharing a crossword or two. Music choice for this week was 60s & 70s, brining about some lively chat & laughter 🕺 #connectingwithothers #cognitioncafe #brainhealth #musicformemory #creativity

Altruistic August - Day 14: Take an action to be kind to nature and care for our planet actionforhappiness.org/altruistic-aug… #AltruisticAugust

When times get tough fun is often the first thing kicked in to touch, but when we do something with others that is silly or makes us laugh we connect differently with each other and we’re lifted away from our troubles for a while. #WeAreCamerados

Something every young person should know this A-level results day.

School holidays can be hard for people with a brain injury. Lack of routine, can be so difficult to manage but having Star & Sven. Keeping me to a routine and getting me out walking, is so good for me. #mansbestfriend #braininjury #dementia #dog #dougedebordeaux #walking #routine

Rehabilitation aims to help the brain learn alternative ways of working in order to minimise the long-term impact of the brain injury. Rehabilitation also helps the survivor and the family to cope successfully with any remaining disabilities - buff.ly/clVmUsH
