Hello Everyone,
I am currently an OT student from the US, completing my capstone project in Curaçao. My focus is on advocacy for OTs to address the mental health of patients in the physical disability setting. Due to the cross-cultural aspect of the project, I am interested in gaining more information about mental health practices in the OT scope across other countries. For those who have worked in mental health, what has been your experience? Also, has anyone experienced difficulty getting into mental health practice in their country due to scope of practice issues or other reasoning?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Emma B., OTS

Also @Elijah Okall - would you be open to sharing your dissertation here on the Hub? We're sure fellow OTs could benefit hugely from the transitioning perspectives you covered... If so, do drop us an email (hubteam@theOThub.com).

Welcome to this OT Circle @Kirsty Rowsell - and thanks for introducing yourself to fellow Members! Neuro is a challenging but fascinating area of occupational therapy...
Do scroll down the Circle for recommendations already made by others - and use the search bar at the top of the Hub to review other neuro-related content. Also - as you have upgraded to Plus+ Membership - head to OT Downloads, where you can access the Occupational Therapy and Neurology document. All the best with the rest of your degree!

Cognitive Rehabilitation
Hi all. I came across this external article about cog rehab and thought it'd be worth sharing. From Everyday Health, it's a broad overview and highlights MDT input. It could be shared with your patients as general education, before they engage in cog rehab with you or your team...
A few excerpts:
"When we talk about cognitive rehabilitation, it's really any type of rehab involving acquisition, mastery, maintenance, and generalisation of new learning," says Dr. Hawes.
'Whether through restorative therapies aimed at enhancing cognitive abilities or compensatory strategies designed to make daily tasks more manageable, cognitive rehabilitation can significantly boost one’s quality of life. Research consistently shows that cognitive rehabilitation not only helps in managing symptoms but also enhances overall functional independence.'

Are there any master's scholarships for occupational therapy?
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?

@Lauren Purkis - thank you for reaching out to the community here with your research participation request; we encourage posts of this kind. However, we see you have placed it in a lot of OT Circles. Please think about the subject of your research in future and avoid sharing in multiple spaces - to avoid the impression of 'spamming'. On this occasion, you can keep 2 of these, but we will remove it from the 3 least relevant Circles. Thanks 🙂

Hi Emma. A few articles that should help with advocating for a mental health focus:
-Are You Treating the 'Whole' Patient?-
-Connection Between Physical and Mental Health - 8 Proven Strategies for Total Life Transformation- (Mind Journal; external source)
-Case study | OT and Community Mental Health- (Membership Plus+)
-Mental and Physical Health: Why they go hand in hand- (Membership Plus+) Excerpt: "The link between physical injury/disability and the onset of mental health problems is clear... From full exploration of the individual within a holistic approach, we can investigate the impact of their physical disability in all areas, including the impact on their mental health. This will enable the development of holistic rehabilitation plans, that address all difficulties that an individual may experience. Through this holistic approach, the outcome of personalised goals will be maximised."
I hope these are helpful! Jamie
