This is a lovely really well written (and free!) social story to help children understand the facts of the Coronavirus- let's try and calm this sense of panic to prevent the impact later on for our young people https://t.co/zltkwwzUEp @Zoewarren8 @Lyse_e

@Lyse_e @OtShannon @Amanda04218850 @RebeccaLoo_ @BryonyERobinson 3 -Wish for OTs- I really wish we could have more OT in CAMHS .. OT assistants would really add value to the interventions we can offer.

@Lyse_e @BryonyERobinson @OtShannon @Amanda04218850 @RebeccaLoo_ 2016 was my pre mat leave and the time I was lucky to act up into Mandys role so was more outwardly shouting about AHP.. looks like I need to get more with it 😂🙈

@BryonyERobinson @Lyse_e @OtShannon @Amanda04218850 @RebeccaLoo_ Absolutely!

@Lyse_e @OtShannon @Amanda04218850 @RebeccaLoo_ @BryonyERobinson 1- Something I helped a patient achieve - a young person I've been working with for around 6 months has this week started to function with confidence - with education and friendships. A massive step for them to feel this and I'm sure will now really start to fly with this boost.

@Lyse_e @OtShannon @Amanda04218850 @RebeccaLoo_ @BryonyERobinson I'm a bit late to the party with this one - thankyou @RebeccaLoo_ for prompting me to think about Twitter today!

[Karen Crutchley @KarenC_OT]

Great to be involved in the Paediatric OT interviews for the north of the trust today- giving me lots of ideas for more joined up OT working going forwards in #teamCandF @mpft
