Self Care September - Day 1: Find time for self-care. It’s not selfish, it’s essential https://t.co/rry9VO52NK #SelfCareSeptember

[Ashford&StPeter's OT @ASPH_OT]

What do you do to embrace the changing season into Autumn, with shorter days, longer evenings, cold winds & lots of rain: what lifts your mood to cope with these changes? What do you like about Autumn?
For me, it’s enjoying walks through parks, kicking up leaves of all colours.🍂

[Dementia UK @DementiaUK]

Dementia affects 1 in 2 of us. This #WorldAlzheimersMonth, we're shining a light on conversations about #dementia – moments of honesty, courage and connection.

What do you wish someone told you about dementia? Let us know in the comments. 👇

[Ashford&StPeter's OT @ASPH_OT]

@DementiaUK That it’s possible to live well/your life, with dementia: with the appropriate level of support that is properly funded. That small changes can have the biggest impact, in a positive way. That it’s ok to make a mistake or to have a go at doing something new. Please #SEEdeMEntia❣️

[Moving Occupational Therapists @MovingOTs]

This review outlines why physical activity is often out of reach for people with intellectual disabilities. It is a call to action for inclusive design, and a challenge #OccupationalTherapists are well placed to meet.

This post really shows how powerful #reminscence is & how applicable it is to all ages - this is one of range of therapeutic interventions that may be used by an #OccupationalTherapist working in physical or mental health, within any clinical specialty or age group. #valueofOT 💚

As we all look back at #LiveAid40, I would like to tell the story of my experience as a 20yo attending the Wembley show on 13 July 1985. These are never-before seen photos, taken on my Canon A1 with a 50mm lens from my position centre front in the crowd

#OccupationalTherapy can help on so many levels - accessibility to events you enjoy, learn new skills (eg play musical instruments or sing) or simply alleviate social anxiety when with friends/at public events.

Dire Straits, Elvis Costello, Sting, Queen, Bryan Ferry, The Who, David Bowie, Elton John, George Michael, Paul McCartney at al. - it’s mad how many great English artists played at Wembley for #LiveAid in 1985.

And with U2 and the Boomtown Rats, a few Irishmen too! #LiveAid40
