Recipe for Recovery: September 2010
http://occupationaltherapy10.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 5, 2010. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog, and exploring the importance of occupation in the recovery from mental illness. I hope that you have had the chance to think about what the word 'occupation' means and how it applies to your life and other people's, with mental illness or not. Through this blog, I have determined why occupation is important. In our life. It gives us structure. Through it. Additionally, the mere act of doing an occupation may give us enjoyment.

http://occupationaltherapy10.blogspot.com/2010/09/applying-occupation-to-community-mental.html
Friday, September 3, 2010. Applying Occupation to Community Mental Health. Mental Illness' is a very broad umbrella term, encasing a range of mental disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. Of course, there are many more, but to keep the topic on track, I shall be focussing on mental illness which have symptoms associated with anhedonia- having little interest or pleasure in things that were once enjoyed. People who came here would attend the classes for different reason...

Recipe for Recovery: Cooking Activity!
http://occupationaltherapy10.blogspot.com/2010/09/cooking-activity.html
Sunday, September 5, 2010. Here is a recipe I used on placement, in a weekly cooking group with three clients. It's a recipe that does not take long, however, we'd also made another dish during the duration of the cooking activity. This recipe was chosen because it had been identified by the clients that it was something that they used to make before they were unwell and it was a dessert they all enjoyed. This made the activity meaningful. 189; tsp vanilla essence. 1 C Brown sugar. 189; C white sugar.

Recipe for Recovery: The Value of Activity Groups.
http://occupationaltherapy10.blogspot.com/2010/09/value-of-activity-groups.html
Saturday, September 4, 2010. The Value of Activity Groups. In this post, I shall explore the value that group activity has in recovery from mental illness. A big part of the activity groups which I took part in on my fieldwork placement was about the group work that went on, the setting would not have been the same without and group activity provided a valuable environment for the clients. Firstly, group activities are valuable because there is a theme of universality. 4) 325-40. Retrieved from. Ingredie...

Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, WHO CARES???: Reflection
http://blahblahblahwithjo.blogspot.com/2010/09/reflection.html
Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, WHO CARES? Sunday, September 5, 2010. As I began this blog I was unsure if the thoughts I had around sustainable activities were applicable to implementing into occupational therapy practice and for use in client treatments. That is to say will such activities meet the chosen needs of the individual or community, and will they achieve the social and environmental outcomes as envisaged by the client and/or the Occupational Therapist.
