23.01.2022 Have you worked with our wonderful OT Sarah yet? Sarah is one of the most creative, passionate therapists we have come across. She is well adored by all her clients, and has been referred to as a ray of sunshine (we agree!). Sarah is an established plant mama and loves all things Japan and Japanese food. Sarah looks after all our Telehealth clients. She also has the most beautiful pup- who sometimes features on her Telehealth sessions (if your lucky!) We love having Sara...h on our team and appreciate everything that she does #otinspiretherapy #occupationaltherapy #ot #mentalhealth #mentalhealthot #therapy #selfcare #anxiety #stress #mindfulness #sensoryregulation #emotionalregulation #relaxation #trauma #selflove #acceptance #regulation #teenagementalhealth #parentingteens #positiveparenting #holdingspace #territoryproud #otinspire #northernterritory #centralaustralia #alicesprings #melbourne

20.01.2022 Last week we worked a lot on self esteem and self love. Something that is so important (and often hard) for all of us across the lifespan. When was the last time you spoke, wrote or drew the things you love about yourself? What about then adding in some new things? Often this is a very unfamiliar activity. We love to use this as a family based activity. Please let us know if you give it a try in your home! picture by the incredible @hannahdblum #otinspiretherapy #occupationaltherapy #ot #mentalhealth #mentalhealthot #therapy #selfcare #anxiety #stress #mindfulness #sensoryregulation #emotionalregulation #relaxation #trauma #selflove #acceptance #regulation #teenagementalhealth #parentingteens #positiveparenting #holdingspace #territoryproud #otinspire #northernterritory #centralaustralia #alicesprings

20.01.2022 Important notes around teaching children consent from a young age. Consent and trust is so important for little ones to learn in a safe and supportive environment.

17.01.2022 We often have referrals come across our desks with ‘behaviours’ noted on them.... Every human being has behaviours. A behaviour is defined as the way in which one acts or conducts oneself, especially towards others.... When we look at behaviours at OT Inspire- we look at the function of the behaviour. To us, behaviour is not just the random act or conduct of a person, but a means of communicating a need. We work with many children, families and adults to facilitate and understand what this need might be, and then look at how we might be able to meet this need, using the person or environment or occupation. If you or a loved one is experiencing difficulty please reach out to a qualified therapist to access support. This information is for educational purposes only not to be used instead of accessing therapeutic support. #behaviour #positivebehaviorsupport #otinspiretherapy #occupationaltherapy #ot #mentalhealth #mentalhealthot #therapy #selfcare #anxiety #stress #mindfulness #sensoryregulation #emotionalregulation #relaxation #trauma #selflove #acceptance #regulation #teenagementalhealth #parentingteens #positiveparenting #holdingspace #territoryproud #otinspire #northernterritory #centralaustralia #alicesprings

13.01.2022 Self talk and our inner critic are a big one in many therapeutic goals. The way we speak to ourselves plays a big part in our beliefs and values around ourself. Some of reflective questions on self talk can include: - Am I jumping to conclusions?... - Is this constructive? - Would I speak to a friend/ family member / loved one like this? - Do I need to take the emotion out of this dialogue? - Are these thoughts helping me? Mindfulness can be a great strategy to assist with self talk. Checking in and/or grounding ourself first- before then reflecting on our self talk is a great tool before reflecting on whether thoughts are being helpful #otinspiretherapy #occupationaltherapy #ot #mentalhealth #mentalhealthot #therapy #selfcare #anxiety #stress #mindfulness #sensoryregulation #emotionalregulation #relaxation #trauma #selflove #acceptance #regulation #teenagementalhealth #parentingteens #positiveparenting #holdingspace #territoryproud #otinspire #northernterritory #centralaustralia #alicesprings #melbourne

05.01.2022 For each of us today. Remember being brave does not mean not experiencing emotions. Being brave is expressing ourselves, our emotions and our kindness boundaries. @asjaboros #otinspiretherapy #occupationaltherapy #ot #mentalhealth #mentalhealthot #therapy #selfcare #anxiety #stress #mindfulness #sensoryregulation #emotionalregulation #relaxation #trauma #selflove #acceptance #regulation #teenagementalhealth #parentingteens #positiveparenting #holdingspace #territoryproud #otinspire #northernterritory #centralaustralia #alicesprings

04.01.2022 As OT’s we work within the PEO model- Person, Environment and Occupation. We love working with and in different environments (ie. school or home) to work on adapting the environment to help children to grow xx @curious.parenting

04.01.2022 OT WEEK 2020 What do you love most about being an OT? Angel: ... The thing I like about being an OT is being able to meet different people from all walks of life. Its helping them achieve their goals and its walking with them through pain and some heartache. But the thing that I love most about being an OT is being able to celebrate the small victories throughout my clients journey. Its the smile from a client after months of depression, its the first step a client takes to initiate walking, its the tug on my shirt from a child who used to be unresponsive and so many more. These small things are what makes me get up every morning and continue on what I love doing. Angel we are SO lucky to have you!

03.01.2022 As most of you know, we work with wonderful children with disabilities, learning difficulties and/or behaviour difficulties. Fortunately these children receive a lot of much needed support through ASH or the NDIS. What we have found this year, is that a lot of siblings are having difficulties accessing any respite locally in town, especially since COVID-19 hit. After seeing a few siblings having a really tricky time, we reached out to some incredible volunteers and venues fo...r some support. We have put together an afternoon event which siblings can attend for free- just for a little bit of 1:1 / respite time to hopefully build some resilience and re-fill their self-care cups before Christmas. All activities are suitable for children 6 years and over, please contact us if you have any questions or queries. Bookings are essential and must be made prior to 1 December 2020. Please feel free to share with anyone who might benefit. Xx

02.01.2022 EXCITING NEWS!!! To celebrate OT Inspire turning 2 this month (WOOO!) We have had a little re-branding. We hope you love our new look as much as we do. Keep an eye out for some more exciting birthday celebrations over the next few weeks! Let us know what you think! ...
