Looking for a band 5 occupational therapist role, which I can utilise my Sensory Integration training in as I progress along my training. Do any of my network know of any available roles that could point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Cute pic 🫶🏼 important read!!

Rejection sensitivity is central to ADHD, autism, and cPTSD.

Mental health services rarely understand rejection sensitivity, which is why people in all three diagnostic categories are so often told there is something wrong with their personality.

There isn’t.

Alcohol addiction weaves it way through families, communities, and causes damage to not only the alcoholic, but all who come into contact with the effects of Alcoholism. I urge those who support those with Alcoholism, to listen to this. #changemaker

What I'd mentioned at the #NNPCF to MP David Johnston and #DfE about focusing on supporting teacher retention and creating sustainable environments for all.

This letter from Leicester secondary school Headteachers has been shared on Facebook.

I can only hope it’s shared far and wide.

@drmikesyot Never give up in trying to make a change. Those often with the audacity to think they can often do 😉 Yes it may not turn out exactly as you think, however never underestimate the impact of the journey 🙏 Enjoy the adventure!

@deryaocctherapy @OhLottie I love to learn about anybody who has a different culture to mine. For me it's about finding the similarities, not the differences 😊 It's about offering respect to each other first and foremost, so thank you for sharing about yours with us 🙏

@nate_postlethwt The whole physiological process and amount of physical energy it actually consumes. Often inaccurately deemed as laziness, when it's actually operating at capacity for that day. Also like any other condition it has fluctuations eg good days/bad days.

[Leigh-Anne P @ot_leigh]

@StudentOTs Also, to recruit you may consider services where lived experience practitioners are frequently found, such as mental health, etc

[Leigh-Anne P @ot_leigh]

@StudentOTs I think if you were to conduct a qualitative interview of service user experiences who've had experience with both types of professional, you could measure things like understanding, earlier identification of problem and effectiveness of interventions, etc.

[Leigh-Anne P @ot_leigh]

@StudentOTs @theRCOT @RCOT_MH Thank you 😊 I'd noticed the disparity between the two with what is seemingly often an undervaluation of what lived experiences offer the end service user in the eyes of some of the traditional professionals. I think the research results would be interesting to see.

I was #NotASchoolSkiver

I was a child struggling to cope with the grief of loosing a friend at 12.

I was dyslexic with the only support being “use a dictionary”.

I had undiagnosed ADHD, I wasn’t lazy and unorganised.

This messaging is damaging #DoBetter

Generally speaking, mixing alcohol and antidepressants isn’t advisable and can be influenced by a number of factors.

💡 Here, we are sharing some insight into what you might experience when mixing these two substances: https://t.co/4ejoeHzIiX

@aclientfirst @LecturerMish Wow! 😳 unfortunately not an uncommon occurance ☹️ I often wonder where the arrogance stems from 🤔 text book knowledge is great in a logical sense, but not so much as lived experience is to be able connect to someone and gain their trust.
