@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] @RebeccaTwinley #OTalk hello! Will be very interested in what people have to say.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Over to you now [REDACTED USER] and @RebeccaTwinley with the questions. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 1 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @RebeccaTwinley I have similar thoughts- prostitutes, strippers, pornstars, etc. #otalk
Sarah Reynolds @SReynoldsOT
[REDACTED USER] @RebeccaTwinley #OTalk - I admit to limited knowledge: from broadsheet media and television in the main. Never knowingly had a conversation with sex workers in my role as occupational therapist.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Your very welcome. I’m here to help if you get lost - just tweet me #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_

Welcome #OTalk here to help if you need it.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 2 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Actually I believe it. Sex is an occupation. You never know where your patients come from and why they need your services. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] For example, what if a prostitute got drunk and had injuries from an auto accident. Will we say no to addressing sex if she/he is on rehab services... esp if one of her/his goals is to return to work? #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Welcome #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Don’t forget that hashtag @dyspraxicot #otalk
@adamdePrimo
[REDACTED USER] Yes! Well, sort of. I work in pediatrics so I do deal with puberty and social appropriateness. But the states tend to be pride on the topic of sex. If I were to discuss, I would use the ex-PLISSIT model #OTalk
@Alannah_OT
[REDACTED USER] It absolutely should be since sex is a big part of people's lives in different capacities. I don't think it is talked about enough in our assessments both in physical and mental health areas of practice. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Wellcome - here to help if you need it. Just follow the hashtag #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@dyspraxicot Just the one t. It’s pronounced O TALK (Think of it as occupation talk). #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Welcome #OTalk
Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT
[REDACTED USER] @RebeccaTwinley Sex As Work To Me Is Something Done To Serve A Purpose, Be It Financial Gain Or To Fulfil A Personal Purpose But I Also Understand That It Can Be Undertaken Without Choice #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes- I think it will be inservice worthy from time to time in work settings that apply. #otalk
Sarah Reynolds @SReynoldsOT
@BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Indeed- but could the profession access traditional work rehabilitation services? I suspect there are barriers - from potential service users, therapists and other wider services - great conversation starter #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Just one T In the hashtag think of it as occupation talk it’s pronounced. O talk ( not OT talk) #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@almcroberts [REDACTED USER] @RebeccaTwinley Just one T #OTALK
#OTalk @OTalk_
Welcome #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Don’t forget that hashtag #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @RebeccaTwinley Don’t forget the hashtag in every single tweet so that people see what you’re saying and it makes the transcript #OTalk
Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT
[REDACTED USER] Yes, This Is 100% Within Our Remit To Discuss It. The Issue Comes When The Therapist May Not Feel Particularly Confident About Bringing It Up And Then Leaves The Topic As The “Elephant In The Room” Which Then Creates Other Issues In The Therapeutic Relationship. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Please remember to include the hashtag in all your tweets, otherwise people will not see what you’re saying and your tweet will not be included in the transcript. #OTalk https://t.co/sSn54K2KUW
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 3 #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@RebeccaTwinley [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Lol #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] As someone who is across the pond, I definitely don’t know anything that exists in the UK! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 4 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @RebeccaTwinley Why don’t we invite sex workers as guest lecturers to our uni’s, or at least brown bag lunch for students to hear their perspectives? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Oops! I forgot #OTalk
@adamdePrimo
[REDACTED USER] I think this is a really interesting question. Unless there's a specific practice setting (I.e. rehab, pediatrics, sex work), OTs are working with people and their engagement in occupations. #Sexwork would be just one of many facets when looking at the whole person #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
There is also this one. #otalk https://t.co/of8vFpAaW1
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
And then there is this one. https://t.co/968H4ROCrM #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
And finally there is this one. https://t.co/GjR86MeqDZ #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Welcome just follow the hashtag, and you can join in the conversation but do you remember to include #Otalk in all your tweets here to help if you need it.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Bill how could you 😬😆 #OTalk
@Alannah_OT
[REDACTED USER] I think the role of an Occupational Therapist would depend on the context of the situation and the individual need. To provide a non-judgemental and supportive space for anyone who discloses is very important. #otalk

@OTalk_ Even all-time greats make mistakes. 😂 #OTalk
Allie @SWSupportLV
[REDACTED USER] #otalk Never. Only to trusted, alternative providers who are part of the community and come recommended.
#OTalk @OTalk_
No not at all if you scroll back through the chat using the #otalk you can see the questions.

Allie @SWSupportLV
@RebeccaTwinley [REDACTED USER] #Otalk many providers are not educated on SWs issues, and for this reason they may think they are helping when they are harming. There is support for this in SW literature. Most egregious harm include: outing, emotional abuse and reporting to authorities.
Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] For Posting This Or For The Behaviours Of The Healthcare Professionals This Person Came Across? #OTalk

Question 6 #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Only five minutes left any final thoughts? #OTalk? https://t.co/m8jKpAQ5pC
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I think sex workers is a population that we must develop better competencies to work for as OT practitioners. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#otalk
Allie @SWSupportLV
[REDACTED USER] #OTalk Not assume that a SW occupation is the reason they are seeking services. Educate themselves on SWs issues by asking and listening to SWs. Do not ask: "What is your exit plan?" Self-reflect on their own attitudes surrounding sex work.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Well where did that hour go? Can we please thank [REDACTED USER] and @RebeccaTwinley and all those that shared their experiences for a chat tonight! #OTalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
Anonymous tweet - Who wished that thoughts to be added. Due to how I was treated by others when I was young and my disability, I access two sex workers. They were the only two people I have met who understood my sensory issues. I'm truly grateful. #otalk
