Occupational Therapists work in a variety of locations, supporting patients from all sorts of backgrounds. But how does this work when the patient is incarcerated? From young offenders, to lifelong criminals and those serving longer sentences, their right to health care must be recognised.
In this masterclass session, you will explore the Occupational Therapy role within offender rehabilitation. We will look at interventions to address time use, motivation and skill development, and address what activities are meaningful to prisoners in this restricted environment.
We're delivering our Masterclasses virtually at the moment, to continue allowing you access to our amazing sessions delivered by expert academics. Throughout the sessions we will aim to meet individual needs, allow space for reflection and include time for conversations to share experiences and knowledge within the 'virtual' room.
Our virtual Masterclasses are approximately an hour long, but may run longer if we have a lot of questions.
If you are a teacher or tutor and would like for your whole class to get involved, drop us an email at
[email protected] and we'll see how we can help you. Bespoke events may be possible for schools and colleges, at times that suit you, dependent on academic availability.
