 | Orla @orlatheot Hello! Welcome to this week's #OTalk discussing the value of volunteering. Please introduce yourself and answer Q.1: Have you ever volunteered, or do you currently volunteer with an organisation? Tell us about it. Or tell us what barriers stop you from volunteering? https://t.co/M4PD1SiRMW |

 | deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk Q1 I'm Deb, 2nd yr student at Glyndwr. We have mandatory volunteering as part of our course. I currently do some work with sailability & used to volunteer at Headway day centre. |
 | Sarah Sharland @SarahSharland19 @orlatheot Hello, I work in a Huntington’s disease and complex dementia service. I don’t volunteer, to my shame. I’d like to but struggle to find time. #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk I'd love to do more and after seeing the results from Compassionate Communities I almost volunteered but I also have 2 small kids and a dad with dementia so really I ought to start with them! |
| Orla @orlatheot @dmay_ot Thanks Deb, what does that involve? #otalk |

 | Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Hello Kellie here, OT student. I volunteer with the University's volunteer hub on an ad hoc basis. Time can be a barrier, so it's helpful that the hub offers various opportunities, for different purposes and varying commitment levels #OTalk |
 | Deborah Harrison @DebbiiHarrison Good evening #OTalk. I’m a lecturer @UEA_Health & I volunteer with military charities @thebastionbaton & @SurfAction 💚 https://t.co/m2Z4loWAdU |
 | Rob Molloy @RobTheOT @orlatheot Hey Orla, I’m a MSc student at Brunel and love volunteering. Have volunteered both home in Ireland (through church, school and a kids literacy club with you!), in UK (kids wheelchair basketball club) and abroad (in china with disabled orphans) I don’t let much stop me #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @SarahSharland19 You are still welcome, no shame allowed here :) #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @k_tedjo Cool, what do you get up to there? #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @RobTheOT #OTalk |
 | Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @orlatheot I'm a bit too busy for it at the moment with college but I volunteered for years with a @Foroige youth club and spent a few months with @CopeFoundation volunteering at a day centre with people with intellectual disabilities - both great learning experiences 😊 #OTalk |
 | Megan Fowler @megrfowler @orlatheot Taking part in my first #OTalk this evening! I have volunteered twice abroad before which were life changing experiences. Never volunteered in the UK, but would be interested in doing so. |

| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo #OTalk https://t.co/8T5jCEz5T8 |
| Orla @orlatheot @DebbiiHarrison @UEA_Health @thebastionbaton @SurfAction Thanks Deborah #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Q2. Thanks to everyone joining the discussion tonight! What do you enjoy about volunteering? Does it benefit you? #OTalk https://t.co/DoGVBOBdky |
| Orla @orlatheot @markstudentOT Sounds very interesting #otalk looking forward to hearing more as the discussion continues |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello peeps! #otalk |
 | Stephanie Wetherbee @smw1009 I volunteered at New England @NEDisabledSport. I was a snowboard instructor for people with a variety of different disabilities. I was able to learn about monoskis, biskis, and tethering. Volunteering here was so valuable because I brought my passion into others' lives. #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @megrfowler Welcome to #otalk! |
 | Francesca OT @OT_Francesca @orlatheot Great topic @orlatheot I've volunteered abroad in mental health & LD services 🇱🇰 I've also volunteered in Scotland with dementia & children's groups and recently done some volunteering at local children's hospital. Also uni volunteering The biggest barrier is time!⌚ #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot I think I should consider my TEDx project as a community volunteer project. #otalk |
 | Ciara Molloy @OT_Ciara @orlatheot A few mins late but excited to take part in my first #OTalk - Volunteering is what got me interested in OT. I volunteered with special needs orphans in China every summer during my undergrad and from this I knew I wanted to work to improve the lives of kids with disabilities! |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_Francesca Wow, you've done so much #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot And for me as a curator of that TEDx event- I have to put in a good bit of time and effort to it because I know putting together an event is not easy. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @dmay_ot: #otalk Q1 I'm Deb, 2nd yr student at Glyndwr. We have mandatory volunteering as part of our course. I currently do some work… |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_Ciara Amazing, honoured to be your first #OTalk Ciara :) |
 | Jo Young @HandyOTJO @orlatheot @OTalk_ I'd love to volunteer, but working full time, and other activities means I have no time #OTalk |
 | Grant Mitchell @MillennialOT @orlatheot #OTalk question 1: yes! For My US based state association, and I just got done volunteering at the US national AOTA conference... volunteering is the best, when the schedule can allow it |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot It's helped me relate to some of my placement settings. Volunteering has also enabled me to contribute and understand some of the issues faced in our local community #OTalk |
| Deborah Harrison @DebbiiHarrison #OTalk Q2 I’ve been volunteering for 7 years & it has changed my life. I’ve had the most amazing experiences & best of all, met some wonderful people. It has been stressful at times, but worth it. https://t.co/GN0dGSO1Ii |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk I really enjoy all the volunteering I've done (and over the years I've done loads). I like getting to spend time with people, making them laugh, engaging with them, and introducing them to new things - morris dancing, needle felting, kayaking, computers...) |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot And of course- I do serve in a couple roles in AOTA. A big barrier for me as a clinician is that I don’t have freedom to visit clinics. I need to use my PTO to do conferences and school visits. #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Plus being able to share meaningful experiences with people #Otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @EmilyJ_OT @CumbriaUni Love it, arts in health is a big passion of mine too #otalk |
| Grant Mitchell @MillennialOT For my US friends who are not working, @OTalk_ is having a twitter feed discussion which last for another 45minutes, to join look at the latest posts at #OTalk and respond using the same hashtag |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot For the OT one, I feel it is great opportunity to understand how AOTA works. #otalk |
| Francesca OT @OT_Francesca @orlatheot I don't have much to give, but I do have time. I volunteer for the fact that my time can make a contribution to someone's day. #Otalk |
| Rob Molloy @RobTheOT @orlatheot It benefits me immensely, giving sense of fulfilment to help others and do what I’m passionate about. I enjoy the variety of things you can be involved in and being able to make a difference. #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Time has come up in several of the responses to Q1 as a significant barrier to volunteering (esp. for students) - having the option of more short-term commitments is one good way to address it #OTalk https://t.co/yImYLcEpYd |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_Ciara @orlatheot Speaking of which, China is a recent @thewfot member! #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Q3. Next question! What occupational therapy skills have you used in a volunteer role? Tell us about how you used them. What do occupational therapists bring that others do not? #OTalk https://t.co/xst3oJWcUX |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @HandyOTJO @orlatheot @OTalk_ Juggling work and life, plus time for the greater good. Can imagine it must be tougher while working! #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @orlatheot: So true, the people you meet volunteering are the best #otalk https://t.co/9fGXZQJQpN |
| Rob Molloy @RobTheOT @OTalk_ Though I’ve also realised I’ll never have as much time as I do now! Much less flexibility when working full time... #OTalk it’s hard one to balance |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @OT_Francesca @orlatheot Amazing how just by being there, we can sometimes put a smile on someone's face! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @orlatheot: Q3. Next question! What occupational therapy skills have you used in a volunteer role? Tell us about how you used them. What… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot If it is AOTA, I think it will just be teamwork and leadership skills. I enjoy collaborating with fellow leaders. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot If it’s TEDx, essentially it feels like I am doing my clinical doctorate project again. #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Our understanding of occupational injustices; using therapeutic communication skills - just by listening and even use of silence; engaging someone in a valued occupation #OTalk |
| Deborah Harrison @DebbiiHarrison #OTalk Q3 Being an occupational therapist is my motivation for volunteering, I want people to get the most out of life. I don’t always use my obvious OT skills. I’ll do what’s needed to help people reach their goals. 💚 https://t.co/y138XLyimu |

| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @orlatheot I wasn't even an OT student yet during my last long-term volunteer role; I'd like to go back and see what I would do differently now that I have new skills and experience! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @dmay_ot: 3. I think OTs are really good at encouraging people to go just sightly out of their comfort zone, to grow and develop. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @k_tedjo The use of silence, very interesting. what's that? #otalk |

| Ciara Molloy @OT_Ciara @orlatheot I have volunteered in different activites/settings since I was very young. I love being able to use my skills to help people! The satisfaction and sense of achievement makes it all worth it! Everyone can make even a small difference is someone else's life! #OTalk |
 | Helen @HelenArnfieldOT @OTStudentDianne @OTalk_ #otalk volunteering has led to working with @Missionmotorspt and a whole host of other awesome projects, absolutely a great opportunity 👍🏼 @UniNorthants |

| Rob Molloy @RobTheOT @orlatheot We can support people to participate in their every day activities by considering working with the person on particular skills, adapting their environment or grading their occupations, using a holistic approach and finding out what is meaningful to them #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot I agree. The experience that is concurrent with my role in the Representative Assembly in AOTA was key to give me the courage to try. #otalk |

| Grant Mitchell @MillennialOT #otalk for Q3: I feel like there’s this thing I do because I’m an occupational therapist that goes like this “I am not perfectly sure, but I will ask someone who does” or “I’ll figure that out for you.” Or “we can figure it out.” |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @RobTheOT Good point! From my own experience I think we have a lot of free time as students but often less predictable schedules than someone working full-time (and it's harder to commit to anything long-term if you're going to be moving somewhere else for a placement!) #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Q4. Time for a controversial question I think. Do you think it is useful to volunteer abroad or is it better to volunteer locally where you are ‘culturally relevant’? #OTalk https://t.co/hU8WOzKS7G |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RobTheOT: @orlatheot We can support people to participate in their every day activities by considering working with the person on parti… |
| Deborah Harrison @DebbiiHarrison @dmay_ot Yes absolutely, but I’ve done a lot of social media & communication work as a volunteer. Not obviously OT skills but I do it in an inclusive & creative way because I’m an OT! #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @dmay_ot: 3. I think OTs are really good at encouraging people to go just sightly out of their comfort zone, to grow and develop. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot I facilitated for a week on @IamAnOT17. I consider that as an abroad project. #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot While volunteering at a care home, I remembered having some communication difficulty with one of the residents who had a stroke. During the session we spoke very little, but enjoyed the company and working together on our arts and craft project #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @dmay_ot: #otalk I'd love to do more and after seeing the results from Compassionate Communities I almost volunteered but I also have 2… |

| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @OTStudentDianne @orlatheot Very interesting - I was definitely "grading" arts and crafts activities before I knew that was the word for it :P #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot I know, hopefully we can make each other aware of the skills we are already developping :) #otalk https://t.co/KVqoWmNJ6L |

 | Elena Nichols @elenanichols_ So rewarding spending time volunteering to help others and to put a smile on someone’s face, knowing you’re not doing it for financial reward #OTalk #VolunteersWeek https://t.co/4l9bU4E1fv |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Other times, I remember chatting with service users, and let them share their narratives. It brings a sparkle in their eyes, when they can just share that experience w someone #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTStudentDianne @colourful_ot @orlatheot And sometimes new one emerge too! To run about 75-80% of the whole TEDx event is a challenge! #otalk |

| Francesca OT @OT_Francesca @k_tedjo @orlatheot Often volunteers work on the fringes of community so I totally agree with the injustice part. It's great that volunteers are able to make a contribution though #Otalk |
| Helen @HelenArnfieldOT @orlatheot Volunteering abroad sounds like a great learning opportunity but those with other commitments just cannot participate #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @MillennialOT @k_tedjo That's what people need in some cases #otalk someone to sit with them and be there |
| Grant Mitchell @MillennialOT @orlatheot #otalk Q4: I imagine there is so much to learn abroad, but I think there is equally as much to learn locally too, to pursue opportunity either locally or not I believe is important. |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @MillennialOT @orlatheot Yes that's right! Just being there in the present with the person #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @k_tedjo: @orlatheot While volunteering at a care home, I remembered having some communication difficulty with one of the residents who… |
 | Emily @EmilyJ_OT @orlatheot The main aspect I enjoy from volunteering is how fun it is and how I can use my skills to give back to others ! It's also a great opportunity to acquire skills required for professional practice #OTalk |
| Rob Molloy @RobTheOT @orlatheot I don’t think either is better. Abroad takes a larger time commitment (ie a few weeks or months) whereas locally can be a few hours a week or month. I’ve done both and found both meaningful at various times #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @markstudentOT And sometimes is also motivation too. I know a good bit of LA based OT practitioners would volunteer to serve as clinical instructors at the Ghana externship @USCChanOSOT organizes every year. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot You're a natural OT so ;) #otalk https://t.co/OPvGJkdDJc |

| Orla @orlatheot @HelenArnfieldOT Yeah, it's not possible for everyone #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Yeah, both have their strengths #otalk https://t.co/ngFviIavxh |
| Francesca OT @OT_Francesca @orlatheot I think a lot of it has to do with the ethics volunteering organisation that people go out with. It is important that volunteering abroad is sustainable and not just 'voluntourism'. #Otalk People need to be aware of this before they volunteer abroad imo. |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot 4. I've never volunteered abroad. I imagine it would be hugely rewarding and enriching and I'd love to do it but I feel I can hit the ground running fasterwhere I'm more familiar and still learn a lot from the people I'm with. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @EmilyJ_OT What skills have you seen recently? #otalk |

| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @orlatheot I think people volunteering abroad need to be aware of the issues with "voluntourism" - even well-meaning people can end up being quite paternalistic in how they view people living in other countries that they see as less advanced #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot And if I volunteer abroad, I think the OT world will think I disappear... lol! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @dmay_ot: 4. I've never volunteered abroad. I imagine it would be hugely rewarding and enriching and I'd love to do it but I feel I can… |
| Ciara Molloy @OT_Ciara @orlatheot I believe that there is something for everyone. Everyone has skills that can benefit others and people should volunteer where they feel their skills will be best used for good! I have done both and think there should be no shame in doing it abroad -there is need everywhere!#OTalk |

 | Simon Jacques @JacqusieOT @orlatheot I've volunteered in Spain with different groups helping them participate in outdoor activities like climbing, walking and biking. We were lucky we had a set up to facillitate this, but it would be pretty difficult if not. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @orlatheot: Yeah, both have their strengths #otalk https://t.co/ngFviIavxh |

| Rob Molloy @RobTheOT @OT_Francesca @orlatheot Absolutely!! Sustainable volunteering is so important. If done right it can be hugely beneficial to the hosts and the volunteers. If not can cause so much harm, despite the best of intentions #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_Francesca Yes, it's essential to ask questions of the project you are going to and getting an idea that they benefit the community and don't do more harm than good #Otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OT_Francesca: @orlatheot I think a lot of it has to do with the ethics volunteering organisation that people go out with. It is importa… |
| Orla @orlatheot Q5. Do you record your volunteer experience as CPD evidence? If so, how? #OTalk https://t.co/9flsCFKciA |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot One thing I'm worried about while volunteering abroad is that it can be for a short period of time, what happens after the team has left? It's important to think about the sustainability and impact you've left in the community abroad #OTalk |
| Elena Nichols @elenanichols_ Also amazing to see how many local charities there are in need of support! All working for brilliant causes which would not run without the invaluable help of volunteers #OTalk #volunteering #charitywork |
| Emily @EmilyJ_OT @orlatheot I've only volunteered in Ireland and the UK but I think either! I think it's important to be interested in the type of volunteering you choose in order for both yourself and the service users to get the most from it #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Yes, and then in turn, inspires us to keep studying and working hard #otalk https://t.co/xN5Y0QMVEb |
| Deborah Harrison @DebbiiHarrison @BillWongOT @dmay_ot In a way @BillWongOT you already volunteer around the world with all the international connections you make via social media. Maybe you don’t see it that way? #OTalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @dmay_ot I've heard of people who are very passionate about volunteering in another country and every year they take time to get back, so they can "hit the ground running" quicker every time they are there #OTalk |
| Rob Molloy @RobTheOT @orlatheot Oh interesting one. I haven’t yet but really should... I’m going back to China to volunteer where I was before for two months in October and November - any ideas of how to record it as CPD? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DebbiiHarrison @dmay_ot I actually do... especially I recently reviewed abstracts for #caot2018. #otalk |
| Ciara Molloy @OT_Ciara @orlatheot Interested to hear the responses to this - we are currently gathering our CPD portfolios for an assessment and are struggling to gather evidence for some of the volunteering things we have done whilst at Uni - I guess reflecting on the experiences could count? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RobTheOT @OT_Ciara @orlatheot @thewfot @USCChanOSOT He knows more than I do. So ask him. #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @BillWongOT @dmay_ot You will have to tweet us from whichever part of the world you are in and share your experiences w us there! #otalk #OT365 |

| Orla @orlatheot When I am volunteering for a short period, I look to support the long-term staff rather than start a new project only I could sustain. That way the staff are left encouraged #OTalk https://t.co/7Q63hkBpx3 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Symbolic_Life: @orlatheot yes! I do, i highlight through my reflections and its contributions to my professional identity. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Especially important when working with certain vulnerable groups, e.g. children without parents or separated from parents who may already be dealing with stress of not having long-term stable relationships with adults #OTalk https://t.co/4yx7IeR2Kf |

| Deborah Harrison @DebbiiHarrison #OTalk Q5 I do record my volunteering for my #CPD Portfolio. It is an important part of my learning. It’s mainly my reflections & emails commenting on my contributions. https://t.co/RZhzLIgUJZ |
 | Alondra Ammon @AlondraLaOT @MillennialOT @orlatheot I think as long as when volunteering abroad, we should be culturally sensitive to the available resources of that region/country. I think it can be easy for some to come into a situation and start applying approaches that work, but it may not be appropriate for that area. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_Francesca @RobTheOT @orlatheot Or in some cases will be a short placement assignment. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmilyJ_OT @orlatheot And SWOT is a great tool when we consider volunteer opportunities within OT. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @EmilyJ_OT Is the SWOT about your personal development or your volunteer role or something else? #otalk |
| Simon Jacques @JacqusieOT @orlatheot Volunteering is work at the end of the day which might/might not be unpaid. It can create possibilities, experiences and opportunities which employers are interested in, similar to paid work and student placements, so it's important to document it all I reckon #OTalk |
| Deborah Harrison @DebbiiHarrison #OTalk Q6 Yes always! The difficulty is that the small charities I work with cannot afford to employ an occupational therapist. I have facilitated some great student voluntary experiences though which has been great all round. https://t.co/eoOywqL2L1 |

| Helen @HelenArnfieldOT @colourful_ot @orlatheot I agree, there have been a lot of problems with this over the years, although hopefully not from #occupationalTherapy #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Definitely! As OTs our understanding of how areas relating to the individual, context, and purposeful occupations can make a powerful impact. I'm happy to see the Uni developing the role of OTs in role emerging placements within charities #OTalk #ValueOfOT |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot I think you can contribute a lot to another culture simply in terms of introducing them to our ways of thinking and working, similiarly, we get the same benefits and can find new ways to improve our own practice #OTalk |
| Emily @EmilyJ_OT @orlatheot My personal development really and how the sessions went overall! I try to write the strengths and weaknesses regarding how I facilitated the session personally and used opportunities and threats for the overall session! #OTalk |

| Rob Molloy @RobTheOT @carrie_sant @orlatheot I think we should approach volunteering abroad mostly as learning, learning their ways of doing things and then seeing if any OT skills (which is often helping people figure out how to do it themselves) can help. Important not to go into it as the western expert! #otalk |
| Simon Jacques @JacqusieOT @orlatheot I think OT can have an impact on helping those who wish to volunteer, but don't have the confidence or feel they have the right skills. Volunteers need the right support and often those who don't get it, can't flourish and grow in their roles #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot When taking over as a volunteer group leader, before I even started I asked the group what activities they would like to do. They loved it and gave me a long list! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And of course... how can we forget that being a facilitator for #otalk or being a 4OT group admin can also be a global volunteer project for us? |
