parkrun is for everyone, which you'll see the moment you visit for the first time 🫶

The community make it such a warming and motivating experience for all and we encourage you to try it if you haven't already!

Tag a friend who hasn't tried parkrun yet.

In 2018, Fiona King harnessed the power of parkrunning to boost her mental health.

Navigating pandemic pressures and becoming a mother to two daughters, her parkrun return was a turning point!

Looking at different place along the river was a great way to appreciate the value of the Kawa model today thank you @hspenceruk and @Ruth_Hawley

[Ruth Hawley (she/her) @Ruth_Hawley]

Today's lecture was quite literally a walk in the park. 😊
Love exchanging a traditional classroom for #OutdoorKawa teaching. Thanks to @hspenceruk for co-facilitating the session and @DerbyOT MSc cohort for their active participation.

Really enjoying this book - full of stories of the power of meaningful occupation (in this case running).

@ajciliaOT @ClareTaylorBU @RCOTEastern @OT_UEA @UoE_OT @UniofHerts I would love them please. Just starting out on my OT journey !

[Joanne Chalmers @Jo_Chalmers_OT]

@JennieRed14 @StudentOTs I keep links in a word document with a sentence or two about their relevance. Or if you have access to bibliographic software you can put them in folders.

[Joanne Chalmers @Jo_Chalmers_OT]

Interesting article highlighting the importance of occupational therapy for older people in hospital. We need a good OT evidence base to make sure this crucial part of care is not overlooked for funding. https://t.co/QiL5G57VDj

Had a great day out yesterday at the @Penllynultra winter race. Fuelled by flapjacks made by the lovely @AHaynes_OT for our @DerbyOT MSc group weekly cake rota !!!

[Joanne Chalmers @Jo_Chalmers_OT]

@beclouan @UKRunChat Just getting out of the door is key. Give yourself permission to go out and run just 30 seconds then come back home. Totally takes the pressure off, and it is highly likely you’ll decide to carry on and do much more !! Good luck and enjoy !

[Joanne Chalmers @Jo_Chalmers_OT]

@AHaynes_OT @DerbyUniLibrary @DerbyOT Well done ! Planning to get mine finished off tonight too 🤞

[Miles Richardson @findingnature]

More evidence that noticing nature matters - "Everyday encounters with birdlife were associated with time-lasting improvements in mental wellbeing. These improvements were evident not only in healthy people but also in those with a diagnosis of depression" https://t.co/mytYBa5GEp

Happy World Occupational Therapy Day 2022 #WorldOTDay

[Joanne Chalmers @Jo_Chalmers_OT]

@Ruth_Hawley I’m starting to see why it becomes a way of life !

[Joanne Chalmers @Jo_Chalmers_OT]

Starting to see life from an OT perspective - I was enjoying a run in the beautiful Gower this morning 1) pondering why this is meaningful to me and 2) appreciating it involves much more than my legs. After just 2 weeks of MSc !! #DerbyOT #natureastherapy #meaningfuloccupation
