Hi there Gaelle. Interesting introduction. I'm in neurological practice not mental health, but curious about how AI is being used more widely in healthcare. Could you share a bit more about your feelings on how it's being used well, or in ways that concern you?

Hi all, I'm a UK OT student on placement in a mental health setting. What are your go to OT focused interventions for those in acute mental health crisis whilst being supported in the community?
Hi Amy. Is your supervisor supporting you to understand the person’s strengths and difficulties through assessment, ie using something like the MOHOST as a starting point.

I agree that sensory modulation would be really helpful, but try to tie this to what the person needs and wants to do
Hello everyone, how are you? I am looking for a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy due to the lack of a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy in any of the Arab countries. Where can I get a scholarship or at which university can I apply for a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy?
Health Sciences University in Bournemouth, Uk is small enough to be personal. Not sure about scholarships though. You’d need to self fund as an international student.
