Occupation for Health
Aim: To understand that being engaged in meaningful occupations and activities enables individuals to feel competent, and confident about their lives. Being meaningfully occupied supports our sense of control as well as helping remove the frustrations, boredom and monotony that exist when we are engaged in unsatisfying tasks. This workshop examines the connection between how individuals occupy their time and their health and wellbeing; and seeks to raise the profile of viewing client occupational needs as vital to good health outcomes.
Objectives:
- To become more aware of how meaningful occupations function as a means for providing balance and purpose to our lives.
- To understand how the meaningful occupations and activities that we engage in help us to develop as people, help us find meaning for ourselves, and enable us to create our identity and a sense of purpose in life.
- To learn that what we choose to do enables us to project a positive image of ourselves to others, and that this helps our confidence and self esteem.
- To learn more about occupational needs and the connections that exist between people who are deprived of occupations and activities due to circumstance of ill health or poverty, and the consequent mental stress, depression, and feeling of helplessness that may result.
- To discover why what we do is so important to the individual and how our occupations and activities need to be understood and respected in terms of the value to the individual.
- To learn how to support the occupational needs of people who we work with and to promote activities and occupations as important individual needs.
Brief Description: Engaging in meaningful occupations and activities helps us to feel competent and confident about our lives. When we are engaged in meaningful and purposeful activities it helps us to feel in control and helps take away the frustrations, boredom and monotony that exist when we are engaged in unsatisfying tasks. The day will be full of opportunities to understand in an enjoyable way how important doing is to peoples’ sense of wellbeing. Participants will be shown ways of analysing how balanced their lives are, as well as how to understand the importance of knowing why something works or why something doesn’t work for them or their clients. Sharing the positive and enjoyable elements of our meaningful occupations and activities will be an important element of the day. Participants will be encouraged to understand what it is that is really important about what they do and to discover or rediscover new sources of purpose and enjoyment. Methods for making changes will be demonstrated as well as techniques for goal setting. The knowledge will be taught so as to be relevant to the participant and to the work the participant does.
