#OccupationalTherapyWeek Happy OT week! I am currently working in perinatal mental health and here is some feedback I have received. My OT Life Hack in this area is to connect with all parts of your identity: Mum: Me as a Mum. Us: Me in relationships. Me: Me as an individual.

Well it's been 2 years off Twitter, good excuse, I now have a 2 year old and 6 month old! Jasper and Toby. I will be returning to OT part time in the not too distant future! #family #WorkLifeBalance

Uk Goverment: Make it compulsory for all schools & early years to teach basic signing of some form - Sign the Petition! chng.it/yjprSGzv via @UKChange

3 weeks into my maternity leave and little Jasper made his entrance into the world, 10 days early on Christmas day! He's doing amazing! #AmazingNHS @DanielleMaule80 @Janice_tige @alanataverner @ElftOt @Catheri58904653 @NHS_ELFT @FatimaYayi @Don_Taps

Off on maternity leave I go! Everyone has been so supportive at work as my pregnancy has progressed. I will miss everyone during my leave but excited for my new chapter! Boy or girl??? @ElftOt @NHS_ELFT @Janice_tige @FatimaYayi @DanielleMaule80 @alanataverner @Catheri58904653

Lovely baking session today which involved making jam tarts. Lovely to see someone go from being unsure about taking part to engaging and voicing that they were so glad they did, referring to the activity as "therapeutic." @Charlene_39 @NHS_ELFT @AshWard2019 @Janice_tige @ElftOt

One of our service users added comments to the staff photo board, so lovely :) #rewarding @ElftOt @NHS_ELFT @FatimaYayi @DanielleMaule80 @Catheri58904653 @Don_Taps @Janice_tige

Brilliant opportunity, do apply! Great team to work with and lots of opportunities for development.

In today's craft group we made sock snowmen! Apparently it's too early to do this but the attendance to the group makes me think otherwise 🤣 some lovely finished products! #Craft #Fun @Janice_tige @NHS_ELFT @ElftOt @Catheri58904653 @Don_Taps

What a brilliant day celebrating OT week! We had a morning of baking OT themed cakes which were then enjoyed at our OT Hub this afternoon! Lots of conversation and information sharing #OTWeek2019 @RCOT_MH @Janice_tige @DanielleMaule80 @Catheri58904653 @NHS_ELFT @ElftOt @Don_Taps

Happy OT week everyone! @ElftOt @NHS_ELFT

On Mondays Willow's light lunches aren't quite as light as the service users get involved in some more cooking. This week's request was enchiladas, very impressed, all cooked from scratch! #yummy @FatimaYayi @Janice_tige @ElftOt @NHS_ELFT @Don_Taps @DanielleMaule80

Today we ran a baking group at Oakley Court. Part of our everyday involves supporting recovery for service users and it was lovely to receive feedback today about the positive impact this baking group had on a service users mood. #WorldMentalHealthDay2019 @Janice_tige @NHS_ELFT

I ran a lovely Exploring Recovery group today focusing on setting goals. Some lovely SMART goals made. My long term goal of re-decorating my house feels a lot more achievable now so a bonus for me too! @FatimaYayi @Janice_tige @ElftOt @NHS_ELFT @DanielleMaule80 #goals #SMART

It's been a busy and enjoyable day at Oakley Court today! Baking this morning and pom pom making for Craft group this afternoon! #MeaningfulOccupation #LearningSomethingNew #Pompom #TuesdayMotivation @Janice_tige @AshWard2019 @Don_Taps @NHS_ELFT @ElftOt @DanielleMaule80

Lovely feedback today @Janice_tige @NHS_ELFT @ElftOt @DanielleMaule80 @Don_Taps @Catheri58904653 @alanataverner
