Too many of us are made to feel isolated, worthless and ashamed because of our mental health. But by talking about it, we can bust the myths. #TimeToTalk Day is 2 February 2023 - make space in your day for a conversation about mental health.

It’s #TimeToTalk Day on 2 February. It’s a chance for all of us to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives. We want everyone to make space in their day for a conversation about mental health on #TimeToTalk Day. How will you have your conversation?

"Boost for campaigners opposing building of 500-chalet holiday village on nature reserve." This 12 year-old planning application on a beautiful nature reserve is no longer fit for purpose.

Lovely feedback from an OT student I recently did long-arm supervision with on a role-emerging placement: "Your supervision provided me with so much guidance and support... I really hope I meet you face-to-face one day to thank you!" Feeling a bit tearful, not gonna lie 🥺❤🥰

Tomorrow is #TimeToTalkDay 2023 and so I am reflecting on mental health issues & how #OT & other health professionals cope. How easy is it really to seek help when we need it? Of course, good #supervision goes a long way towards supporting us, but what if we need more?

Me and the cat went on a business course today run by Royal College of Occupational Therapists specialist section for independent practice (in my caravan office 😁) I've done this one before but wanted a refresher. It was great! Cat wasn't interested. His job is pest control and head of security, apparently.

Many years ago a friend and I went on a splinting course. We decided bright colours and fur trim was the way to go...! I confess have never made a splint in the line of duty, but if I did, they would look like these! Fabulous ❤

Been doing virtual halfway visits for #OTstudents on placement this week. There have been a few tears, plenty of smiles and some very deep reflections on practice. (And that's just me 🤣). #lovemyjob #OccupationalTherapy

Found my undergrad dissertation yesterday while clearing. I still think it's pretty good! Annotations consisted of a few ticks ✔ and some sarky one-word comments, like "hardly". Useless feedback 🙄 #otsudents #feedback #occupationaltherapy

This is a condition that I was born with. Back then, there was no support for families and OA/TOF was seen as a paediatric condition, 'fixed' at intial surgery, but actually the impact is lifelong and needs an MDT approach #longtermcondition #RareDiseaseDay2023

Premieres Wednesday, 12 noon on YouTube. Join us for the premier of our new video and hear members of our adult OA/TOF community share their experiences and tell their stories about being born with OA/TOF. youtube.com/watch?v=uI9-mY… #oa #tof #RareDiseaseDay #raredisease

Spent a lot of time looking at screens this past couple of weeks. I'm very blessed that I live really close to the sea, so instead of just rushing to the nearest shop for bread, I drove a bit further and strolled by the sea first #anglesey #selfcare #slowoccupations
