 | Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch I'm here! Rotational OT currently working on a brain injury unit. Looking forward to tonight's talk. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Over to you now @_rachelOT and @RebeccaTwinley with the questions. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RachaelD_OT: @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Evening all 👋🏻 #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Q1 #Otalk very limited knowledge, ignorance perhaps. Sex as work: Escort/prostitution (I hope these terms are not disrespectful as I want to ensure I remain professional) 😕 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #OTalk |
 | LisaLew @LisaLew68971861 @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Hi my first #OTalk |
| Cheyenne Ferry @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Q1. I have very little knowledge or awareness of the topic, however I believe people are entitled to work which ever way they please #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I have similar thoughts- prostitutes, strippers, pornstars, etc. #otalk |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT #Otalk should be a 'safe' zone to explore ideas together. #sexworkers can be discussed and identify in various ways - because #sexwork is so very varied |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley #OTalk Q1. Would probably describe current understanding as relatively basic. Definitely aware of it but not to any significant depth. |
| Sarah Reynolds @SReynoldsOT @_rachelOT @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 |
 | kt marie @KtBergson opps new to #otalk missed out that vital hashtag! |
 | Laura @becoming_OT @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Hello! I'm a student and this is my first #OTalk! Really interested to think about this topic from an OT perspective :) |
| kt marie @KtBergson #otalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch That people engage in sex as a productive activity to earn a wage. People who engage in this work have the same rights as any other - to be safe, respected & valued by others for the work they do. Although this may not always happen. #OTalk |
| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT RT @RebeccaCrouch: That people engage in sex as a productive activity to earn a wage. People who engage in this work have the same rights a… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @RebeccaTwinley @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT Don’t forget the hashtag @RebeccaTwinley #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I feel the same! #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @RebeccaTwinley @_rachelOT #otalk i think it a taboo subject? Sensitive as well holding a certain stereotype. Engaging in the tweet chat will 100% increase my knowledge for the better. I’ve never spoken to (knowingly) a sex worker. I’m very intrigued 💓 |
| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT RT @sherlynmelody: @RebeccaTwinley @_rachelOT #otalk i think it a taboo subject? Sensitive as well holding a certain stereotype. Engaging i… |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @Ruth_Hawley @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley #otalk I agree!! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk |
 | Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I would understand sex work as covering a range of things like stripping, porn, full service sex work, etc #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk here to help if you need it. |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch I should add I have limited knowledge of this area - but the above is description I would ascribe to sex work (without knowing much about it) #OTalk |
| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT Q2. #otalk Do you believe that discussing #sexwork is within your remit as an #OccupationalTherapist? What stance might you take on this? |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @becoming_OT @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley #otalk welcome. It’s great I hope you enjoy it 👋🏾 |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I'm in favour of decriminalization based on what I've heard from people working in the area #OTalk https://t.co/4GL2todslR |

| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT Yes, interesting thoughts... taboo for who? Those perhaps who have some or no awareness, or have little to no contact with #sexworkers #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #OTalk |
 | Aisling Butler @AislingOT @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley evening #OTalk ... limited knowledge currently, but I am aware that this is an area I would like to learn more about, to support those I may work with who sex work -in whatever capacity that may be |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley RT @_rachelOT: Q2. #otalk Do you believe that discussing #sexwork is within your remit as an #OccupationalTherapist? What stance might you… |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @becoming_OT @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Hi Laura! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Actually I believe it. Sex is an occupation. You never know where your patients come from and why they need your services. #otalk |
| Rachael @RachaelD_OT @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Engaging in sexual activities for some form of personal gain (usually financial). Sex work is not just about participating in physical acts, but also exchanging of messages, pictures etc #OTalk |
 | ed sum 🏳️🌈 ❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I have a friend who is a sex worker - interesting stories of aspects of humanity #OTalk |
 | Adam DePrimo @adamdePrimo @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Outside of the typically thought of occupations of escorts and prostitution, I'm also familiar with sex surrogates (eg: Mark O'Brien and Cheryl Cohen Green) #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT Q2 #Otalk I would not feel confident in this area but would be happy to research on behalf of a service and signpost or refer. |
 | Deborah Harrison @DebbiiHarrison @OTalk_ Good evening #OTalk - just listening in tonight |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @_rachelOT 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 |
| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT RT @RachaelD_OT: @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Engaging in sexual activities for some form of personal gain (usually financial). Sex work is n… |
 | Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Very limited. The knowledge I do have is based on tv documentaries on sex workers. Some of these documentaries have challenged my preconceptions around sex workers so I know it important to keep an open mind and be non judgemental #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachaelD_OT: @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Engaging in sexual activities for some form of personal gain (usually financial). Sex work is n… |

| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Although never had a conversation/intervention around this topic whilst I was in practice I suspect that was because would not have been easy for those I was working with to be open about as I think #sexwork is more nuanced and common than people are aware of. #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @RebeccaTwinley @_rachelOT #otalk yes, I agree. I think it’s about educating people in the area. |
| kt marie @KtBergson @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Q1 - I don't think I've knowingly worked with any sex workers but I suppose its interesting to consider how we would know - how we ask sensitive questions/ provide a safe space that people can feel able to tell an OT that #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @RachaelD_OT @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley #otalk well there you have it. I didn’t know that! Thank you 👏🏾 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag @dyspraxicot #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody RT @RachaelD_OT: @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Engaging in sexual activities for some form of personal gain (usually financial). Sex work is n… |
| Cheyenne Ferry @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I do feel it’s often portrayed quite badly in the media and there are particular stereotypes surrounding the area. As OTs/OT students we should be looking at whether their occupation is contributing/improving to their health and well-being #OTalk |
| Adam DePrimo @adamdePrimo @_rachelOT 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 |
| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT RT @KtBergson: @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Q1 - I don't think I've knowingly worked with any sex workers but I suppose its interesting to co… |
| Deborah Harrison @DebbiiHarrison @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Very limited knowledge & open to learning more #sexworkers #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @CheyenneMinnie: @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I do feel it’s often portrayed quite badly in the media and there are particular stereotypes… |
 | Vicki Lynas @V_the_OT @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Sex is something I have spoken about with patients at work, albeit not often. It’s important imo to acknowledge and not be taboo about it. #otalk |
 | Alannah Marie @Alannah_OT @_rachelOT 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 |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley @musedNeuroOT @_rachelOT #sex is so #diverse so #sexwork is equally not something that can be described by one story... thanks for adding this #OTalk |
 | UoS Occupational Therapy @TherapyUos @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley This is our first #otalk and a subject we view at @TherapyUos as a meaningful #ADL and a topic #OccupationalTherapy needs to take seriously |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch Absolutely, even if it is out of our comfort zone. I can c this happening in 2scenarios. When working w some1: 1) who is a sex worker or has engaged in sex work, & this is part of their occupational identity 2) who may benefit from their services as a meaningful activity #OTalk |
 | Keir Harding @Keirwales @_rachelOT Everything someone does is within out remit. I'd notice my own...disapproval? Sense that this cant be a free and happy choice?...but try to understand why it was useful for the service user and what they wanted support with. #otalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @_rachelOT Definitely, being a bit vulnerable here... but as a disabled individual this is something I feel like I’ve had no input on #OTalk |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley Then we are so very pleased you joined us tonight #Otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT #otalk that should have said service user. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wellcome - here to help if you need it. Just follow the hashtag #otalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @_rachelOT #OTalk Q2. I think it definitely is within the remit of an OT role both in clinical practice across any specialty and in my current role now in education. |
| Rachael @RachaelD_OT @_rachelOT Definitely! As a profession, we explore all meaningful occupations & so by default, sex work would fall into our remit #OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @_rachelOT Definitely, as much as any other career that might be impacted by illness/injury! Plus for some people with disabilities, access to sex workers might give them more opportunities for sex/relationships (e.g. @theandrewgurza's experiences: https://t.co/3MzmR5qqVj) #OTalk |
| kt marie @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT also it's part of the bigger question about whether OTs feel comfortable, confident and qualified to ask about sex as an activity full stop. Nevermind as a work occupation that is deemed illegal. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Ruth_Hawley: @_rachelOT #OTalk Q2. I think it definitely is within the remit of an OT role both in clinical practice across any special… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @dyspraxicot Just the one t. It’s pronounced O TALK (Think of it as occupation talk). #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @BillWongOT @_rachelOT #otalk that is very interesting. They should be signed off like if a builder hurt his back and could not participate in manual labour. |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @adamdePrimo @_rachelOT Adam, I am about to start a job in paediatrics. Can I reach out to you about this in the future? #OTalk |
 | Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Needs to have some @RCOT guidelines re relationships and sexuality #OTalk |
 | Gilly- does- Doing @GillyGorry @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Limited knowledge from the sex worker perspective. However I have worked with.people who regularly access sex workers because sex is important to them and some people with disability want to access sex worker services. I recall a BBC documentary on this. #otalk |
| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT RT @colourful_ot: @_rachelOT Definitely, as much as any other career that might be impacted by illness/injury! Plus for some people with di… |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Yes and I would say, from many discussions and forums Ive been involved in - overall (not completely) the answer is no. So @_rachelOT and I have a little mission to begin to challenge this ;) #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley RT @margaretOT360: Needs to have some @RCOT guidelines re relationships and sexuality #OTalk https://t.co/vdOZuYXQbF |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @GeorgiaVineOT @_rachelOT That's a shame. It definitely should not be a taboo topic #OTalk. Discussing sex did form part of my previous clinical role but not specifically sexwork. |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Of course it’s a meaningful activity if a person deems it to be so #OTalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @sherlynmelody @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Or a drug dealer that couldnt make his deliveries? 🤔 #otalk |
| Adam DePrimo @adamdePrimo @RebeccaCrouch @_rachelOT Sure! I'm not sure how much I can help since we practice in different health care systems but I'm always up for being a sounding board for additional opinions. Good luck! #OTalk |
| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT Q3. #otalk Are you aware of any non-mainstream or sex worker specific services in your community that you could signpost people to, if they wished to access them? Can you recommend a particular service? |
| Gilly- does- Doing @GillyGorry @RebeccaCrouch I feel as long as a person is working in this capacity with full knowledge of what they are doing and how it may impact them. Are safe, consenting adults. Then this is their choice. And there are many.people wanting to access. #otalk |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley RT @_rachelOT: Q3. #otalk Are you aware of any non-mainstream or sex worker specific services in your community that you could signpost peo… |
| ed sum 🏳️🌈 ❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT The laws in Britain are rather complex around this... well it seems complex to me and prostitution not necessarily illegal #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley #otalk one thing that comes to my mind is people that participate in sex work to maintain or feed a drug habit. I’m not sure how common this is? |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @_rachelOT @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 |
| Cheyenne Ferry @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT Definitely, sex is an occupation and I do believe OTs should be conscious that I can be a priority occupation for clients , although I do feel it would be quite a tough issue to address, the more we do it the more comfortable we will get addressing sexual behaviours #OTalk |
 | The Andrew Gurza 👨🦼[he/him/his] @theandrewgurza RT @colourful_ot: @_rachelOT Definitely, as much as any other career that might be impacted by illness/injury! Plus for some people with di… |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @_rachelOT Yes it within our remit as an OT if it is supporting or interfering with client’s function/quality of life, etc. I work with autistic children and although I may provide support with going through puberty and social appropriateness, sex or sex work never really come up. #otalk |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley @KwakuOT @_rachelOT Certainly Kwaku. It can be enforced or it can be a choice #sexwork #otalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 RT @CheyenneMinnie: @_rachelOT Definitely, sex is an occupation and I do believe OTs should be conscious that I can be a priority occupatio… |
| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT @EllieRosslyn_ What do you think might make you think about safeguarding for yourself straight away? #otalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @_rachelOT A bit off topic you can tell I’m out of my depth 😅#OTalk |
 | Craig @dyspraxicot @_rachelOT Not in the community but there are many sites where in particular female sex workers can access information #OTalk |
| Laura @becoming_OT @_rachelOT Absolutely! Not a huge range of practice experience but surely not talking about it means we don't consider the whole person #OTalk |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley @musedNeuroOT @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Depends literally where 'it' happens Ed #OTalk |
| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT @attack_kitten @Keirwales Absolutely #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody RT @colourful_ot: @_rachelOT Definitely, as much as any other career that might be impacted by illness/injury! Plus for some people with di… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KtBergson @musedNeuroOT @_rachelOT Yes- I think it will be inservice worthy from time to time in work settings that apply. #otalk |
| Sarah Reynolds @SReynoldsOT @BillWongOT @_rachelOT 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 |
| Aisling Butler @AislingOT @_rachelOT yes! we have @SWOPoasis in Sussex #OTalk |
| Gilly- does- Doing @GillyGorry @sherlynmelody @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I'm sure this happens. And I think that I would question true consent here. There are probably other issues to be worked on. Sometime people don't feel they actually have the choices other assume they do. #otalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @_rachelOT I also have to consider sex work from a safeguarding perspective. Autistic children are very vulnerable to sex exploitation #otalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @_rachelOT In Ireland I know of @SWAIIreland and @uglymugsie #OTalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @sherlynmelody @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley That's mainly where my experience comes from. Frequent experience is that people doing this see themselves as worthless and this is topped up by selling themselves for more substances #otalk |
| Gilly- does- Doing @GillyGorry @_rachelOT I know of services that disabled people often access. #otalk |
 | Pip Caie @PipStudentOT @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Hello! I'm a student and this is my first #Otalk. Very interesting topic, looking forward to following (lurking)! |
| Cheyenne Ferry @CheyenneMinnie @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Yeah I’m not too sure either I’m sure we all have those predisposed attitudes through what we’ve read somewhere etc, however it’s important to recognise those attitudes and not let it affect the care we give #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Just one T In the hashtag think of it as occupation talk it’s pronounced. O talk ( not OT talk) #OTalk |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley You have said the line I seem to say everyday: context is everything #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @almcroberts @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Just one T #OTALK |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @GillyGorry @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley As a newly qualified band 5 I worked a young disabled man who desperately wanted a girl friend - at the time we talked about dating apps, but in hindsight I wished I had been confident enough to talk to him about his experiences re: masturbation & sex. #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @_rachelOT Not a clue but following this chat I will try and find out #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag #OTalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT #otalk are escorts illegal? I mean you have a person who wants to go out to a business meeting (I watch too many films) and they want a plus one to go with them. The ‘escort’ ? Sexworker, would go with them & I suppose they could engage in sex at the end of the date. Is this ok? |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ @EmKGeorge @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Don’t forget the hashtag in every single tweet so that people see what you’re saying and it makes the transcript #OTalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @_rachelOT @attack_kitten Hence the importance of noticing my reaction and trying to act in an interested/curious manner. #otalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @_rachelOT #OTalk Q3. Only know about some local projects through church/faith based projects which may not be what everyone wants or finds accessible but aware of Saffires https://t.co/YZIftxU5Yk and Restore https://t.co/LgQ31fDeL6 |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @_rachelOT 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 |

| Rachael @RachaelD_OT @_rachelOT We have the SAFE project in Birmingham & Solihull. I have signposted an individual there previously & recently received a call to say they found it very helpful #OTalk |
| Craig @dyspraxicot @Keirwales @sherlynmelody @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I know of others who do it for the thrill. Not for substances. They drive brand new Mercedes etc #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 |
| Cheyenne Ferry @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT Q3. I’m not aware and if a person came into the service needing support I wouldn’t know where to signpost them too #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk |
 | Deb Knowles OT @debbieduckie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I don’t think I have an understanding. Yet. #OTalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @_rachelOT Not had contact with either service personally/professionally but know people who have volunteered in both and would recommend #OTalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @GillyGorry @_rachelOT Are these regional or national services? Would love to know as may be able to support patients in London. I'm not currently aware of any services (bearing in mind I have not needed to access them for patients... yet) #OTalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @GillyGorry @sherlynmelody @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Also that people arent making the choices that it seems they are Eg drugs or not Vs Drugs or A night that lasts forever replaying their most traumatic memories in 4k IMAX in their head. I'd take the drugs. #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕪𝕟 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT Q3 #Otalk I am unaware of any services. I don’t know anyone who has the role of a ‘sex worker’ But it depends on what their needs are, I could support if it’s within my remit or research and then signpost and refer. |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @Keirwales @sherlynmelody @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I do think it's worth questioning why sex work is often framed as someone selling themselves/their bodies when other more physically or emotionally demanding jobs aren't, though #OTalk |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley @sherlynmelody @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Pls can my students ignore fact Im quoting wiki: 'In UK prostitution itself (exchange of sexual services for money) is legal but a no. of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning, managing brothel, pimping and pandering, are crimes' #OTalk |

| Keir Harding @Keirwales @colourful_ot @sherlynmelody @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Totally agree with you here. There are moral arguments for/against and the past 50 years has taught us our morality about sex is changing rapidly #otalk |
| Craig @dyspraxicot @_rachelOT Try to look at the whole philosophy of OT. Look at the self care ensure they and their clients are safe. Plus ensure they are fully aware of what they are doing.

| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Good point. Lots of work to be done around this topic but great to see it being discussed more. #OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @_rachelOT If the person has capacity to make their own decisions (i.e. no safeguarding concerns as raised by other participants) I would just ask them what they want in terms of health and social care and find out what services I could refer them to, or interventions I could provide #OTalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @RebeccaTwinley @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Maybe a podcast would be good? #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT Ooooo Sherlyn advocacy would be great! #OTalk |
| Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley @dyspraxicot @_rachelOT I would say these questions highlight the need to give voice to #sexworkers and to explore their subjective experiences, especially of #sexwork as an #occupation #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Oops! I forgot #OTalk |
| Cheyenne Ferry @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT Q4. The role could be returning to work, could be education for working safely and signposting to other services for sexual health advice #OTalk |

| Craig @dyspraxicot @RebeccaTwinley @_rachelOT A perfect summary of what I was trying to put across #OTalk |
| Adam DePrimo @adamdePrimo @_rachelOT 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 |

| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT & if the educational resources & information is not available it is our responsibility to start with educating our selves else where (looking at resources outside of the realm of OT) & having a sex positive attitude when working with our patients #OTalk |
| Cheyenne Ferry @CheyenneMinnie @TherapyUos @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I completely agree! I do feel the first couple of times can be very daunting but the more we talk/discuss, the more comfortable we will become and build confidence. Literature suggests OTs struggle address sexuality due to low confidence #OTalk |

| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @_rachelOT This makes me sad - no person should ever have to experience this (although I imagine it unfortunately happens a lot). I hope this person hasn't lost faith in the health care system & has better, more positive experiences with more considerate practitioners in the future. #OTalk |

| Adam DePrimo @adamdePrimo @RachaelD_OT @RebeccaTwinley Even before we consider #sexwork and #stigma, Non-binary, transgender, and other LGBTQ+ people are already at risk for having a healthcare worker not understand their situation and providing inaccurate/inadequate health care.

| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @RebeccaTwinley @_rachelOT They should do - as a matter of respect to their sex partners, not wanting to contract or transit STIs & for treatment if needed (which should be stigma free). Whether they do or not is another question... #OTalk |
 | Laura Student OT @Laura_Does Unfortunately I missed out on the #OT and #sexwork #OTalk tonight but I'll read through the transcript later in the week. @YSJOTSOC students, if you're interested in this subject, visit the @OTalk_ website 👍 |
| Cheyenne Ferry @CheyenneMinnie @OTalk_ is there a form or certificate that can be used for participating in #OTalk for my cpd folder? #CPD |
| Craig @dyspraxicot @_rachelOT That it's not all about sex so don't punish with a stigma. Some see sexworkers for companionship. A friend of mine who is a sex worker she offers more on the companionship and BDSM #OTalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @RebeccaTwinley @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT @OTAfterDark Yes I know about @OTAfterDark but is there one on sexwork within this? #OTalk |

 | Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @OTalk_ The anonymous contributions powerfully bring home how far we have to go to achieve open, accepting and truly client centred services It makes me sad that those experiences exist, let alone the knock on impact for how we expect people to trust & be open with us #OTalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch Great talk @_rachelOT & @RebeccaTwinley. This is exactly why I love #OTalk so much! In 1hr you can engage w so many OTs, practicing in different areas & places, whilst have an interesting (& fun) discussion. #CPD at its best! Learning without realising it. Thanks again! |

That surely is not good for my health and well-being. How is that acceptable 🤷🏾♀️ |

| Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT @sherlynmelody @CheyenneMinnie @RebeccaTwinley Survival sex is an element of sex work, of course, but it we consider that in the UK alone there are approx 72k sex workers (probably many more) there is such much diversity in how this is practiced - see some facts below ☺️ #otalk https://t.co/dJbrexcJFG |
