.@KamalaHarris will be a president for all Americans. She actually cares about making your lives better. Donald Trump only thinks about himself.
I want you to remember this: if someone doesn’t respect you, they should not represent you. That’s not what you need in your life. And we don’t need Donald Trump leading our country for another four years.

Thanks to @GCU_StudentLife for inviting me to discuss about my recent involvement with @theRCOT following the OT video shoot campaign. It's always exciting to use any opportunity to promote the value of occupational therapy.

Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love.
Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.
great presentation today 🙏🙏🙏

An important session to reflect on. Tackling unconscious bias is vital but can only be achieved collaboratively, often with uncomfortable conversations.
We must continue to have these conversations and invest in anti-bias training. #RCOT2024
ALT Quote reads: There’s such a risk of being frozen in paralysis because we’re worried about getting it wrong. We need to start having those conversations. If it feels uncomfortable, it probably means you’re talking about the right kind of things.” -
Thanks all for such a good discussion around Adult social care workforce strategy - Oonagh Smyth, Anita Mottram and Neil Carnegie 🙏 #RCOT2024
