Two of our students BeccaOT and Abasiama are on their role emerging placement with Office for Health Improvement and Disparities with Linda Hindle OBE, learning about AHP provision from a more strategic perspective. Follow their twitter takeover this week AHPs4PH (also on LinkedIn) for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek.


Our favourite #MomentsForMovement were from last week, where our fantastic Teesside University #OccupationalTherapy student Felicity created a #Boccia pilot session to empower a local community group to enjoy #PhysicalActivity ๐ #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek @TeesUniOT Dawn Drury Royal College of Occupational Therapists

Embracing this year's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek theme of #movement, let's recognise the power of physical activity for mental well-being. Organisations like Sport for Confidence offer therapeutic interventions, aiding those disconnected from their community to thrive. ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ


During #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, Mental Health Foundation recommends seizing everyday moments for movement, even while waiting for the kettle to boil! ๐ What other moments can you think of to incorporate movement into your day? #MomentsForMovement


Social prescribing boosts mental health by connecting people to community activities & support. It's about holistic wellness and finding joy beyond traditional treatments.๐ฟโจ #MHAW24 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek Learn more on the AHPs4PH podcast ๐ง: open.spotify.com/episode/6wUxLHโฆ
