The Challenge
As Occupational Therapists working within a Community Rehabilitation Service for individuals with mental health problems we faced challenges in being able to deliver our everyday 1:1 intervention following restrictions imposed due to Covid-19.
The Change
We provided something immediately for our service users who relied on daily OT input for activities of daily living. We developed a Mental Health Toolkit for service users, with interventions in self-care, productivity and leisure.
The Impact
The toolkits were shared amongst the MDT who could make reference to this during weekly telephone calls. Service users continued to implement our interventions whilst adhereing to social distancing with the aim of maintaining structure/routine.
