 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Good evening #OTalk @OT_rach on the account this evening. Do say hi even if you plan on lurking. If you have any questions about joining in just let me know. https://t.co/UCP1fAObc8 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Its 8pm here in the UK so that means time for #OTalk, hosted by @Keirwales Don't forget the house rules, but most of all enjoy the chat! https://t.co/b30iaduqTu |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello folks! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Keirwales: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Lurks always welcome and you might surprise yourself #otalk |
 | Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @OTalk_ @Keirwales Have we started? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Ha ha -, multitasking is allowed!! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @SophieMaynard8 @Keirwales But don’t Forget that # in every tweet otherwise you’ll end up on the naughty step #otalk https://t.co/P1bhlKIcHu |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales Hahaha #OTalk this requires a lot of heavy duty thinking which I think I may not have the cognitive capacity for at this point. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk |
 | Rock Paper Moon @RockPaperMoon RT @MassDecoration: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales I think ableism is one that I often see. People see that I can handle a busy OT conference schedule every year... but I actually have to put up with a lot to attend these things because I love OT so much. #otalk |
 | Westchester Therapy Solutions @DonnaKl38563266 RT @Keirwales: |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin Is stigma part of the social environment or no? Join #Otalk and tell 'em! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #otalk |
 | Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Keirwales I think it is completely entwined into society which is why so many follow "norms" that are stigmatising. Doesn't mean we shouldn't challenge these though #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales I made this comment because I read a lot of tweets from autistic attendees commenting about the autism conferences they were at in Nice and Singapore. But... I know I put up with a lot more when I attend the AOTA conferences every year. #otalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Keirwales @OTalk_ Oops #bakeoff Vs #otalk 🙊 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @teohjouyin: Is stigma part of the social environment or no? Join #Otalk and tell 'em! |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales @MassDecoration Because it is not as blatantly obvious and in our face? #OTalk it's often something intangible and hard to put one's finger on. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales Another can be related to culture. For certain disabilities, caregivers/parents might not disclose their children having them and these parents might feel ashamed if they openly disclose. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @Keirwales @SophieMaynard8 You won’t get in the transcript, and you can’t use it as evidence if you don’t use the hashtag! #otalk, it’s not being strict it’s just thinking of you! 😛 |

| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales Stigma is actually one of the first things my first year students learnt about in their history of OT lessons #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_KateT: |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales I do feel an understanding of stigma is essential to do proper #occupationaltherapy work, given the sort of clients we all work with #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @MassDecoration: |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @teohjouyin: @pixiegirle @Keirwales Stigma is actually one of the first things my first year students learnt about in their history of OT lessons #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @MassDecoration @Keirwales But we can. We can certainly ensure that we ourselves *don't* perpetuate stigma! #OTalk start with ourselves! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales My guess is- because there is no one size fit all solution to this type of issue. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin RT @Ruth_Hawley: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales I try my best to ensure my students are taught. I work in collectivist societies, it is necessary. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Keirwales: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Can you give us an example Keir @Keirwales #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales However, I wonder if Western OT train has less focus on this because OT is seen as individual and focus on collective is very new #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales Hmm... I constantly have to prove people wrong that I am competent. Of course, I help change my students’ perceptions of what autistic individuals can do in the process. They get to see me in action in class and figure out how I overcome challenges to be their instructor. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales When I studied in the UK, I got the impression that the social environment was regarded to be the domain of social workers #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales True- I think we should have a general blueprint... but then we also got to use our critical thinking to adapt to the situation at hand. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Incredhead: |
 | K-OT (she, her) 💙 @kalessandram @Keirwales I think stigma is so intertwined with our culture, we may lip service to it but dont challenge & , question enough. I think it causes people to opt out and remove their voices because of the impact of shame. So keeps perpetuating. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales The social work literature has covered these issues extensively, much more than OT does. #Otalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Keirwales I like to think it's on my radar quite a lot, but it's never enough. If we don't ask questions then we don't know how stigma is impacting the individual #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @laurafcliff: |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin Love this reflection! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @laurafcliff @Keirwales I see that with my cousin who has way more severe in terms of symptoms goes. Safety is a number 1 concern for that family. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @kalessandram: @Keirwales I think stigma is so intertwined with our culture, we may lip service to it but dont challenge & , question enough. I think it causes people to opt out and remove their voices because of the impact of shame. So keeps perpetuating. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @laurafcliff @Keirwales My family- I know it took 4 years for them to accept the good of me having autism- but that’s because I have accomplishments to prove them wrong! #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales Occupational Therapy in Malaysia started with an institutionalised community of people with leprosy. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Ruth_Hawley: |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales Discussion around why people with disabilities were institutionalised is a great way to introduce the concept of stigma. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Ruth_Hawley: |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @teohjouyin: @pixiegirle @Keirwales Discussion around why people with disabilities were institutionalised is a great way to introduce the concept of stigma. #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales My students, in the course of their own studies, learnt to examine their own attitudes towards ppl w/ various conditions #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales @pixiegirle I think so. We can help bridge society’s gaps in that regard. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales Which also includes checking their own stigma towards such people. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Another form of stigma I sometimes see- some of us are not receptive to constructive opinions regarding identity first vs. person first issue. It is an issue that is going in for decades and some communities prefer IFL. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Have others experience this? #otalk does the service people are using stigmatised them? |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales Oh I live discrimination. Here there is a public uni which only admits ppl from the majority ethnic group #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales The programme I taught was full of minority ethnic students. Hence we had a very strong social justice focus. We all lived this. #OTalk |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @kalessandram @Keirwales I think we are but i think because social environments its less tangible than physical environments its harder to challenge and change, it is perceived as being more subjective and personal when questioning and raising. #otalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales @katebinnington Yes! in stroke, certain presentations are expected for certain types of stroke and patients can be accused of being "functional" if it doesn't fit...usually to find that their MRI shows more extensive damage that first diagnosed #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @BillWongOT I hate it when OTs get defensive about this and send journal articles trying to justify their insistence on person-first ONLY #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales What is TIC? #OTalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales Unfortunately this isn't a thing of the past, there is still a huge amount of stigma for those who are diagnosed with a personality disorder #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales I read somewhere about a quote that trauma informed care is incomplete w/out social justice informed approaches. #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales So difficult to navigate these issues sometimes. One has to grapple with oneself first. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales Impact of not being open to hearing feedback on using IFL in certain situations- it is not a good representation of what we are supposed to be as a profession. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales What? We're at 3 already?? #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OT_rach: |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Keirwales Stigmas can make access to support and services difficult #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @AbdMydin I know you are asleep but you may want to check this out and respond later haha |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SophieMaynard8: @Keirwales Stigmas can make access to support and services difficult #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @kalessandram @Keirwales There is sometimes a sense of people making a choice to where they have ended up when needing services and therefore it is implied their need isn't as deserved as someone who didn't choose. Really unhelpful and depressing perpectives. Need to challenge #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Stigma can also prevent people who need help seek help! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @kalessandram: @Keirwales There is sometimes a sense of people making a choice to where they have ended up when needing services and therefore it is implied their need isn't as deserved as someone who didn't choose. Really unhelpful and depressing perpectives. Need to challenge #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales And you know what? The irony is that we have the opportunity to be, but most OTs prefer to skirt around the issue. #OTalk |
 | Derek McCabe @DerekMcCabe9 RT @OT_rach: |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales Despite its inclusion into our curricula as per WFOT standards, I actually think many OT educators are unable to teach social justice #OTalk |
| Derek McCabe @DerekMcCabe9 RT @Keirwales: |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales Even people who claim to have done PhD research on social justice may not actually be able to practice it #Otalk |
 | Sarah P. Hancock, MS, CRC ♿ @PsychRecovery @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales #Stigma is but a kind name for #Discrimination against those who live w/ Sx of #mentalillness. It's entirely social & environmental. It's worse among #MentalHealth professionals working in acute care situations bc they only get to see ppl at their worst. #Otalk |

| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @kalessandram @Keirwales Excluding people who are seeking support, preventing them from coming back to service #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin Absolutely! I have seen the way some health professionals talk about their pts. Who would want to see u if u talk abt them like that? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales We need to change perceptions that seeking help is not a sign of weakness! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Keirwales: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @teohjouyin Or sometimes having preconceived notions about their students if they share that they need reasonable accommodations for school work. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Incredhead @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales Still something quite new to the OT profession I think #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Tori_Doll_: |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @kalessandram: @Keirwales Excluding people who are seeking support, preventing them from coming back to service #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @PsychRecovery @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales Stigma towards people with physical conditions is still there in some parts of the world too. Mental probably worse because invisible #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Sexual orientation is another one. Sometimes individuals with disabilities are also LGBTQ+. They may experience double doze of stigma from society. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @teohjouyin: @PsychRecovery @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales Stigma towards people with physical conditions is still there in some parts of the world too. Mental probably worse because invisible #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @pixiegirle @Keirwales I once saw an OT who claimed to do a PhD on social justice say ppl shouldn't complain about discrimination they face on social media #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ My goal in my classrooms- I want my students to not only come away from the course knowledge they are supposed to learn, but also realize that I work hard to get to where I am today professionally. In a sense, I want them to reframe about autism narrative. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales @OTalk_ Impact of stigma on us as OTs you mean? #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin RT @BillWongOT: Sexual orientation is another one. Sometimes individuals with disabilities are also LGBTQ+. They may experience double doze of stigma from society. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin RT @janetregan3: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT We don’t need our service users to experience double whammies! #otalk https://t.co/HGWtJQLe6N |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 15 minutes left guys!! #otalk https://t.co/dnuyQLzjgT |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales Oooh so that is what you mean. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @MassDecoration: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SomiaOT: |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin What a great answer! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Ruth_Hawley: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SomiaOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ I know there are times when I comment about OT to autistic adults, they were wondering which side am I on? #otalk https://t.co/a3o5Fndtmi |
 | Dr Carolynne White OT @Carolynne_OT @Keirwales As an example, weight stigma is socially produced by the way that certain bodies are idealised in our society, while larger bodies are disparaged in the media, and medicalised by health professionals and systems. Weight stigma is normalised, making it hard to challenge. #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @SomiaOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ Yes! Stigma makes the ppl we ought to serve not want to work with us! @AbdMydin and I are doing clinical ethics research on this! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SomiaOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ ABA is actually a hot button issue in the autism community, for example. Many people are against it! #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @SomiaOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ @AbdMydin Many patients and their families default because they don't appreciation the stigmatization #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SomiaOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ Applied behavior analysis #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @SomiaOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ @AbdMydin When I come across these incidences, I go "what's the point? Why be a health professional in the first place?" #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Keirwales I think I challenge stigma every day when I step into the OT classroom as an instructor. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales Start with ourselves so that we can role model to others! #OTalk |
 | Samei Huda @SameiHuda RT @OT_KateT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 5 Minute warning to the end of the official #OTalk hour... What are you take away thoughts? CPD action plans? https://t.co/sbiAQcePJX |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SomiaOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ I never experienced it. So I personally don’t want to join in the bandwagon until I know the facts and have experience with it. #otalk |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @kalessandram @Keirwales Yes if people feel more confident can have an impact but equally if feel will make an impact will increase confidence #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales @OTalk_ The discussion today made me very angry hahaha #OTalk |
| Dr Carolynne White OT @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales This is especially true for weight stigma where people with larger bodies are reprimanded for not exercising enough, but when they do, they face barriers in restricted clothing sizes and often face judgement and mocking, which is a deterrent to being active in public. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SomiaOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ As an OT, I don’t want to jump into bandwagons too quickly in autism community goes. I don’t think that looks good on me. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that # in all your tweets so that people can see what you’re saying. #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin Nice! #OTalk instead of just accepting our own perception / misconception, seek to better understand the phenomenon |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales Yes I worked a lot with people with these issues. A huge part of my success I believe was that my interactions showed I didn't judge #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales Actions speak louder than words. Even if a clinician claims "they treat everybody equally the same" via body language etc ppl know #OTalk |
| Dr Carolynne White OT @Carolynne_OT @Keirwales We can begin challenging stigma by reflecting on our biases and assumptions and where they come from. As a humanistic profession, OTs can uphold the inherent worth of all people we work with and ensure they are treated with dignity and respect. #OTalk |
| K-OT (she, her) 💙 @kalessandram @Keirwales We need to challenge, reflect and question and not assume. Cant do this as an isolated voice but collectively. Need to think about our impact and assumptions as part of this #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Can We all thank @Keirwales for hosting this evenings #OTalk an excellent topic and some really helpful comments... much to reflect on. So why not do that using our reflections logs? https://t.co/Lqc3VPeI2H |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk 24th Sep 2019 – Spatial Inattention https://t.co/t8hW5nkiKt |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ That’s the 'official hour' for #OTalk is up, this is @OT_rach signing off the account, the transcript from this chat will be added to the blog later this week for you to download as CPD evidence. https://t.co/YBXt9a0TdI |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thank you for joining in tonight’s chat, Have you got 3 minutes to help us improve the #OTalk website? https://t.co/wWfzeKpyFy… |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @goodfig73_g @Keirwales Yes fear is often a reason for stigmatising behaviour #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin Fear is often a reason for stigmatising behaviour #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ How can I just say well done to everyone for remembering the hashtag! Hardly anybody is on my naughty step! #otalk. - great chat! https://t.co/PCzHYxPKs1 |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @colourful_ot @Keirwales But those *should* be part of occupational therapy. Otherwise it is an incomplete social justice we are practicing. #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ The transcript of tonight‘s conversation will be added to the blog in the next few days! So watch this space and download it as a piece of CPD evidence! #otalk |
| Sarah P. Hancock, MS, CRC ♿ @PsychRecovery @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales #OT can challenge #stigma by insisting of helping create a #RecoveryEnvironment through language choice & role modeling appropriate interactions w/ those who may be different. Treating all people w/ compassionate humanity. For more on Language use: https://t.co/KN16ozcCsF #Otalk https://t.co/myhLo1ql5s |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @colourful_ot @Keirwales Quizzed an OT student who told me "we learn a lot about social justice", she learnt *some* abt disability rights, that's not enough #OTalk |
| Dr Carolynne White OT @Carolynne_OT @Keirwales I agree. Our models look at the social, cultural and institutional environments, but often we only focus on the physical environment. Our training in occupational science incorporates knowledge from sociology. OT is well placed to address stigma via the social environment. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ See you next week on Tuesday 8pm with Ailie Turton and Louise Clark who will be hosting the chat from the @RCOT_NP account (RCOT Specialist session for Neurologic Practice.) Here’s what they have to say, #otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @OTalk_ Thank you @Keirwales for the very engaging session! #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @colourful_ot @Keirwales Right. Makes sense! Many OTs still like to "keep politics out of OT" without realising the personal is political #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales @OTalk_ I was absolutely knackered and now I feel awake! Hahaha #OTalk |
 | szikratigris @szikratigris RT @OT_rach: |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin See, #occupationaltherapists who "want to keep politics out of professional discussion"?? #OTalk angry lol. |
| Dr Carolynne White OT @Carolynne_OT @Keirwales Lots! We can challenge the structures that maintain stigma. In my work on weight stigma, we have trained staff, revised policies, recommended better seating & equipment, ensured positive representation of larger people in flyers and wrote a submission to senate committee. #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales @Carolynne_OT Like seriously, OT programmes, don't just pay lip service to it in the curriculum bcz WFOT said so! 1/2 #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Keirwales @Carolynne_OT It could incorporated into all the topics we cover throughout the programme #OTalk pretty much all clients face some form of stigma |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @AbdMydin kan? Great discussions so relevant to our project #jouyinreadlater |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @janetregan3 @OTalk_ @Keirwales Well done! #OTalk |
 | Venus Madden @TheVenusMadden @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales That sounds great. Our services are due to receive the basic training soon. Just wonder anyone out there got an outcome measure or survey etc to check how staff feel before and after please? Or just via discussions and reflections? Thanks #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Incredhead @Keirwales Sometimes ppl take "talk more about mental health issues" as a license to perpetuate stigma #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Ruth_Hawley @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales Yes but it actually has to show in actions and not just lip service. Too many health professionals claim non-judgement but don't show #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Ruth_Hawley @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales It is these sorts of ppl who claim but don't show which make me most angry btw bcz hypocrisy! #Otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Ruth_Hawley @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales So hard when we may point out the prejudice of others, then they say we are prejudiced against them though #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Ruth_Hawley @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales I.e. "my religion does not accept a certain type of people - if you force me to accept then you aren't respecting my religion!" #Otalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Ruth_Hawley @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales I have a big problem when people say "I am a follower of my religion 1st, a health professional 2nd". #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Ruth_Hawley @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales But I am honestly not sure how to address this. Esp when I don't belong to that religion. #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Ruth_Hawley @Carolynne_OT @Tori_Doll_ @Keirwales In situations where religion is used as a justification, it's no longer unconscious bias. It's deliberate. #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin @Carolynne_OT @Keirwales Exactly why I think social justice in OT should be taught as a whole and not just disability rights alone which it can get reduced to #OTalk |
| Teoh Jou Yin @teohjouyin #MedEd #HPE #medtwitter #medtweetmy #FOAMed |
 | OT_Expert @OT_Expert Agreed My Twitter feed is a mixture too, of #OccupationalTherapy and all kinds of other things... Social justice, human rights, disability rights ..... It's all related anyway #OTalk |
| Dr Carolynne White OT @Carolynne_OT RT @Ruth_Hawley: |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT Missed @OTalk_ Tonight! Looks Like It Was A Good One From @Keirwales ...Will Have A Read Through The Transcript. Really Interesting Topic #OTalk |
 | John-Barry @JohnBWaldron This is useful for anyone working in a mental health setting #empathy |
| Sarah P. Hancock, MS, CRC ♿ @PsychRecovery @Ruth_Hawley @Keirwales You're welcome. Language's important. Correct Dx also extremely important. Reason I was deemed "Tx resistant schizoaffective disorder bipolar type" was bc Drs misdiagnosed #HepaticEncephalopathy.
