Lorraine Davie
Occupational Therapist
The Challenge
Suzi had began to stop preparing meals or baking due a recent bereavement and two suicide attempts. Suzi had previously been a chef and enjoyed baking for others, but felt unable, unmotivated to do these now and had relied upon meals on wheels.
The Change
Occupational therapist identified that Suzi still had the skills and knowledge to prepare dishes that Suzi loved. Suzi had four 1:1 sessions with a support worker and was provided with a perching stool.
The Impact
Suzi has now stopped her meals on wheels service, cooks her own meals and bakes for others. Suzi stated she has her passion back for baking and enjoys making tablet to take to her fellow group members.
