The shocking reality of ‘purposeful activity’ in prison

“I witnessed dismantling of DVD’s and CD’s for hours on end, sewing wash bags & towels, assembling poppies, all mind numbing & boring. Lack of use of any skills that they already have or have acquired within is farcical”

#RecoveryThroughActivity

[Esther Butterfield @EstherRBTOT]

This week in prison we made cake! It's so far from the medical model that I'm sure some may be bewildered, but I'm hoping the proof is in the pudding🤪 Participant comments included 'This feels like having an hour out of prison' & 'This is preparing me for normal life'! #prisonOT

[Esther Butterfield @EstherRBTOT]

Well done @FranWaldock 🙌🎉

"Developing new patterns of occupation, in the form of roles, routines and connections, which are congruent with the construction of one’s newfound occupational identity, is particularly important in mitigating these losses and supporting recovery". https://t.co/ifLsWOi79t
