Resilience Workshop – Occupational Therapy

Two SHS occupational therapy lecturers delivered a lively workshop entitled ‘Resilience for ourselves and our clients’ to approximately 50 occupational therapists at their South East regional study day at the College of Occupational Therapists headquarters in London on 13th July.

JOSH CAMERON began with an introduction to resilience and its implications for occupational therapists – drawing on research collaboration with the Sussex Recovery College linked to the wider Imagine research project (http://www.imaginecommunity.org.uk/projects/the-social-context/) and also on the boingboing research and practice network (www.boingboing.org.uk).

SARAH MEAD then focused on practitioner resilience for occupational therapists drawing on her vocational practice experience and research interests.
