Description
A key skill of mental health practitioners is supporting individuals to develop and implement self-management strategies that help to overcome or address barriers to participation in valued life roles and meaningful activities. Working in collaborative person-centred and person-directed ways, practitioners can assist individuals experiencing psychosis to identify potential barriers and strategies that might be suitable to overcome these. This webinar will focus on three tools that can be used to support individuals to explore and implement personally-relevant self-management strategies. These tools include: sensory modulation strategies, using measures of mental health recovery to track progress and identify areas for growth, and tools to collaboratively explore and understand voice-hearing experiences.
By the end of this webinar, participants will:
- Understand how occupational therapists (and others) can work with individuals to enhance self-management strategies focused on overcoming barriers to meaningful participation in meaningful life activities.
- Develop awareness of three approaches to supporting self-management.
- Consider and develop approaches to collaborative working that will support the person to take charge of their own recovery journey.
