| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #otalk |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTalk_: Remember it’s pronounced O Talk not OT Talk - if you’re still struggling here is [REDACTED USER] Niece with the correct pronunciation… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello folks! #otalk https://t.co/KQ2RkLMCd3 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome bill #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Handing over to [REDACTED USER] and [REDACTED USER] for the first question #otalk . https://t.co/qCh5j5bHES |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] I’m here but it’s not a subject I know lots about - hoping to learn something #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @therapy2optimum don’t forget that hashtag in every tweet! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] In my setting, 5-10% of patients I work with were homeless before their acute care hospital stays. #otalk |
 | Miranda CunninghamOT @miranda_jane123 Hi all, I have experience supervising lots of OT students in a homeless shelter and doing research related to occupation #OTalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I’m interested in how you keep in contact with this group. I had experience of working with people in the travelers community and it was tricky to keep in contact #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ each profile allows you to pin a tweet. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #otalk |
 | Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] I had a role emerging placement in homeless at uni, it was fascinating to see the diverse role of OT and disruption in occupational needs. #OTalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott @miranda_jane123 Do you place all levels of students in these settings Miranda or maybe just final year students? #OTalk | |
| @LynneGoodacre I volunteer 1 day a week at a foodbank and am also a Trustee so as has been mentioned quite a large proportion of our clients are homeless #OTalk | |
| Miranda CunninghamOT @miranda_jane123 [REDACTED USER] I had a similar experience in adult mental health #OTalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] That’s interesting I hadn’t thought of that difference in the population - thanks #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT In my setting is a little different, these homeless folks will have a roof over their head while they are receiving physical rehabilitation. Social workers are supposed to find their discharge destinations. #otalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I’d not thought of the fact for some people it’s about the concept or fragility of the home. Thanks for the thought Louise #OTalk | |
| Miranda CunninghamOT @miranda_jane123 [REDACTED USER] Mostly hostels #OTalk |
| @LynneGoodacre Forgot... I also did a research project exploring the impact of a dental service set up to work with homeless people/rough sleepers. #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #otalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] Is that challenging to justify in terms of time resources to whoever commissions/manages the service? #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #otalk |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I don't think we can ignore the link between poor mental health and homeless. Recovering thing is that people often get missed at society focused on my on meeting those basic needs of safety and survival #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #otalk |
| Miranda CunninghamOT @miranda_jane123 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Our placements would not have happened without the support of a certain volunteer worker at the hostel [REDACTED USER] Also having 2 students together is very valuable #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] it's quite a difference to my setting in the USA. I think if I were a homeless person living in my setting, I will be glad to take free food 3 meals a day with room and board. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk the easiest way to remember the # in every single tweet is to start every single tweet with the hashtag! https://t.co/ezZuwLBmXX |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] I agree :) #OTalk | |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I think that Discussions between researchers, academics and policy makers are needed to facilitate the process #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OKOTA1967 I am talking about SNF's, actually. It's a British based OT talk. So, that is why I said to the audience that my experiences with the homeless are different. #otalk |
| Miranda CunninghamOT @miranda_jane123 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Through developing partnerships, having very positive people inside the hostel environment and very capable students #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I think self care should be paramount. Since there are some that are working homeless, hygiene & grooming, toileting, and bathing will be extremely important. They need to look good for work the next day. #otalk |
| @LynneGoodacre Often really complex so start with what is important for each person. #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] and sometimes an overlooked one- they also need to connect to the world, too! So, some homeless folks will stay at Internet Cafe's so that they can use Internet and email. #otalk |
| Abi @Abi21643842 @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I guess hostels and job centre or local shelter spots in the community #OTalk |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] With permission, street pastors may be helpful #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Here's a group I think we should look at for today's talk. They are McRefugees, as they are people who sleep overnight at McDonald's in Hong Kong. https://t.co/p53nMEjrxw #otalk |
| Abi @Abi21643842 @OTalk_ A lot of my work focused on developing motivation for change by exploring goals. However I felt the need for more professionals with a range of skills to involve themselves to support this population #OTalk |
| Miranda CunninghamOT @miranda_jane123 [REDACTED USER] Needs are as varied as the people who experience homelessness #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag [REDACTED USER] #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Work is technically an occupation, too! That was why I said "working homeless". #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And here's what I am talking about in regards to Internet cafe refugees. https://t.co/j3SW6XgGrh #OTalk |
| @LynneGoodacre Yes all good but a massive challenge can be the number of different agencies a person has to deal with. Nothing is joined up, things are duplicated and a nightmare for people who live chaotic lives to navigate #OTalk | |
| Abi @Abi21643842 @OTalk_ A definite lack of occupational identity with daily life being a struggle. A need to explore activities of daily living skills in a creative way through problem solving #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] If I am talking about the "working homeless", how will these folks be perceived socially if they don't have the abilities to do self-care ADL's regularly- like not taking showers for a week, wearing same clothes for days, etc. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We are half way through tonight #OTalk https://t.co/tbsAubBCXu |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] This exists in Japan, actually. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #otalk |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] MOHO tools such as the coalitions questionnaire can be helpful to explore #OTalk |
| Miranda CunninghamOT @miranda_jane123 [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Totally agree, public services are a ‘life line’ we all need to advocate for these to stay open #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I admit- I did my homework about these two types of situations before hand, so I have an idea what to show... lol! #otalk |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] *volitional #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] you really need to include the hashtag in all you tweets other wise people will not see what your saying, and it will not make the transcript #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome - but also please use the hashtag it all your tweets #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] haha! You also got to pay for my license to practice OT across the pond every year! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] well- more cheating is that I am also a speed demon in terms of tweeting. hahahaha! #otalk |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ There is an OTwebinar on positive psychology and OT on the OTHUB which is very relevant here #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I see my share in LA too. But seeing some people who fake homelessness to scam people, I am wary about who are genuine and who are not! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Please ensure you use the hashtag #otalk in all your tweets dieting tonight discuss @AaronFlynn1987 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] well- for people in Hong Kong and Japan, sometimes that issue actually will be- how to find affordable housing for them! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Please do not forget the hashtag in all your tweets #otalk |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] @tibblepowell @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Maslows hierarchy of needs may help to focus ideals and goal setting #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] or another area for OT to address for people in Hong Kong and Japan- money management! Sometimes they choose to be homeless because they can't afford rent of the places that they should be living at. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Those people who got caught/exposed have one common reason- greed (as well as preying on kindness of innocent people)! #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/cQk4p7LLV4 |
| Miranda CunninghamOT @miranda_jane123 [REDACTED USER] We have a role in understanding that people who experience homelessness are occupational beings. This might mean they have difficulties with occupational performance but also, and more importantly they have a right to meaningful occupational engagement #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @therapy2optimum [REDACTED USER] My church does too. We have $5 and $10 gift cards to Subway to give out to homeless if they need them. #otalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] #OTalk for OTs that’s usually part of the issue when working with marginalized groups. You have to justify your time and resources which makes connecting with hard to reach people so challenging | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I think it depends. If it is at a community level, it can be finding competitive employment/developing job readiness skills, money management, finding affordable housing. If it's from my setting, it will just be getting them ready physically back on their feet. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @mrsmcinburtott: [REDACTED USER] #OTalk for OTs that’s usually part of the issue when working with marginalized groups. You have to justify… |
| @mrsmcinburtott I like this! Could be of interest to my students looking beyond traditional settings and roles. Thanks [REDACTED USER] #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I think you may encounter that for sure if you ever work with the McRefugees I talked about earlier. They may have already accepted that it is their livelihood... as they may not have capacity to get higher paying jobs and/or exhausted possibilities on affordable living. #otalk |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] I think discussion between researchers, academics and policy makers to facilitate change. However the start is raising awareness which this #OTalk has really supported |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] Perhaps audits, pilots and more research in practice to capture the good work that happens #OTalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] #OTalk there’s also a need for students to feel confident in building service bids and using EBP to highlight potential outcomes. Key skills in developing new areas of practice | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I think we need to be advocates for the homeless. If it means rallying in public to lobby for governments to increase support for low-income homeless, we got to do it. On the other hand, we also should use our skills to meet their needs in a client and family centered way. #OTALK |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome to our new Intern Ruth #OTalk https://t.co/znl2AvUb26 https://t.co/pVgFOs2ixQ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 10 mins left #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @mrsmcinburtott: [REDACTED USER] #OTalk there’s also a need for students to feel confident in building service bids and using EBP to high… |
| @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ Ruth is fantastic and also makes very good cakes 😉 #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] and also considering that homelessness is a global issue, I am also thinking it can also be a good idea to exchange ideas with our international colleagues, as well as collaboration on research. #otalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @pathwaysuk [REDACTED USER] There is definitely scope for that. We also need OTs to support students in these settings to help develop new areas for qualified staff #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @therapy2optimum [REDACTED USER] my church does food drive for American Thanksgiving for the homeless. Each church in surrounding area will be responsible for a different thing so that it can be a big Thankgiving event for the homeless. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] not a bad idea actually. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Only five minutes left any final thoughts? #OTalk https://t.co/AmrhZf9nqM |
| @mrsmcinburtott @nurse_r @OTalk_ I’ll sneak some to you next time she feeds the office 😉#OTalk | |
| @mrsmcinburtott @EmRodriguesOTS @OTalk_ #OTalk it’s a really useful for skill to build confidence in for your future practice | |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #OTalk couldn’t agree more. We need people to take a step to support these emerging areas of practice | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT We need more articles like this. https://t.co/oQliTtepHB. The title of the article is "The Meaning of Family Routines in a Homeless Shelter" #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ And it’s 9 pm! That’s the hour over everyone. A transcript of tonight’s chat will be added to the blog in a few days time. If you would like to complete a #reflection about tonight’s chat you can find a reflection log here #otalk https://t.co/hEhcGDc7EZ |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And here's another article called "The Meaning of Computers to a Group of Men Who Are Homeless" on AJOT. Considering this was published in 2005, I think this study needs to be updated. https://t.co/smD4dNBNSi #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Tuesday 25 February 2020 with [REDACTED USER] Specialist Section Neurological Practice – Stroke Forum Vision and Stroke – the contributions of orthoptists and occupational therapists https://t.co/7qGRuSWjtS |
| @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ Thanks everyone - lots for me to think about & take forward in discussions #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] maybe [REDACTED USER] can be a good idea to attend? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This is me [REDACTED USER] signing off, really enjoyed supporting tonight. Night all #otalk https://t.co/QwLMAN8Imz |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I also think placement educators should encourage students to reflect upon what they learn too during their experiences. #otalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @pathwaysuk [REDACTED USER] Yes you’d think so but often OTs are reluctant to step outside their own employment areas to supervise students in role emerging areas #OTalk | |
| Abi @Abi21643842 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] With homeless people to identify their needs and how best to facilitate support and recovery #OTalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] #OTalk our third years doing a similar module | |
 | Barbara Ann Smith @Babsyslapsy [REDACTED USER] #OTalk. I treated some homeless patients in an acute respiratory setting. It was about their wants and needs. Support in medicine management( some inhalers weren’t good in the damp), nutrition and recognising when they need to seek help |
| Miranda CunninghamOT @miranda_jane123 @tibblepowell [REDACTED USER] I agree, Housing First is an evidence based and humane solution #otalk |
| @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @pathwaysuk [REDACTED USER] Yes that’s true - also about having to justify time spent and the value to current services. It’s not straightforward sadly #OTalk | |
 | ACN @allencognitive RT @OTalk_: Remember it’s pronounced O Talk not OT Talk - if you’re still struggling here is [REDACTED USER] Niece with the correct pronunciation… |
| @mrsmcinburtott @NicolaRawson1 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @pathwaysuk [REDACTED USER] #OTalk do you know why it was rejected? Did the employ another professional instead of an OT? | |
