Time to get a little personal. As a Healthcare Recruiter, I am blessed with the opportunity to speak with many skilled, talented and very intelligent therapists on a daily basis. 1 of the many things I really appreciate about Occupational Therapy is the dynamic range of the profession. I speak with OT's that specialize in lymphedema or hand therapy one moment, then I find myself having a conversation about MI (Motivational Interviewing) and mental health the next moment. I absolutely love and appreciate that. I was having a great conversation with a Occupational Therapist yesterday about patient care. He is experienced in hand therapy but we got chatting about mental health (he had done a clinical rotation at a mental health facility and also at a school). I brought up MI and his energy lit up. We got into an amazing conversation. I asked him if he ever catches himself using MI with his hand patients. Very quickly he said "yes" and we found ourselves in a rabbit hole conversation about motivational interviewing and how powerful it is to use in a physical rehab setting as well as a mental health setting. We laughed about how we find ourselves using MI with friends and family on a daily basis. We sometimes get called out for using it and often times it is not realized by the person we are speaking with: We do not even realize it ourselves, as it has become second nature. As an alcoholic in recovery (5 years sober), addiction had taken me to homelessness on the streets of Los Angeles. After being 51/50'd for my 3rd time in 2015, I was sent to Exodus Mental Health in Culver City. I was introduced to a OT that ran mental health groups with us while I was on that "72 hour vacation". (I love that I can openly and confidently speak about this now, it is part of my story and I am not ashamed of it). During these groups, the seed got planted. I became aware of "Mental Health" for the 1st time and realized I needed to dig deeper into it. If I were to overcome this addiction that had ended me up homeless on the streets of LA, I had work to do. Internal work on myself. My inner peace and happiness was hostage to my past until I was able to deal with it in my present. To all of the Occupational Therapists out there, I thank you for what you do! A big reason I am able to type this out on a platform like LinkedIn is because of the help I received from you, the seed you planted in me back in 2015. #occupationaltherapy #OT #Occupationaltherapists #OTMonth #CelebrateOTs #Thankyou

🌟 Celebrating the Unique Contributions of Occupational Therapy Assistants! 🌟 As we navigate the complexities of the healthcare industry, it’s vital to recognize the indispensable role that Occupational Therapy Assistants (OTAs) play in enhancing patient outcomes and promoting holistic well-being. This post is dedicated to acknowledging their unique contributions and advocating for their deserved recognition in the therapeutic landscape. 🔹 Valued Partners in Therapy: OTAs are integral members of the healthcare team, working collaboratively with occupational therapists to develop and implement comprehensive treatment plans. Their hands-on approach and daily interactions with patients are pivotal in achieving therapeutic goals. 🔹 Advocates for Independence: OTAs excel in empowering patients, guiding them through therapeutic activities that improve life skills and promote independence. Their dedication is often the driving force behind a patient’s successful adaptation to daily challenges. 🔹 Diverse Skill Set: With specialized training in various therapeutic interventions, OTAs bring a wealth of knowledge and adaptability to their practice. Their ability to tailor activities to each patient’s needs is a testament to their expertise and commitment to personalized care. 🔹 Educators and Communicators: Beyond their clinical roles, OTAs serve as educators and communicators, providing valuable insights to patients, families, and healthcare teams. Their ability to convey complex therapeutic concepts in understandable terms enhances the overall care experience. 🔹 Continuous Learners: The healthcare field is ever-evolving, and OTAs are at the forefront of embracing new methodologies and technologies to enhance patient care.

Occupational therapists working in social care will be essential in 2035, just as they are now! 💚 Positioning them to focus on prevention and early interventions will minimise the need for crisis intervention and dependency on care services. It will also ensure that people have the support they need to live in their own homes for longer and continue with the work and leisure occupations that are important to them. Our Workforce Strategy outlines how OTs in social care are a crucial part of our vision for the occupational therapy workforce by 2035. #CelebratingSocialCare
