The power of everyday spaces, places and activities for wellbeing
Jun 09, 2023
There are many things that I love about being an Occupational Therapist. One of my favourite aspects is the rich understanding and respect for the power of the environment and its impact on health and wellbeing.
I LOVE geeking out on the environment and thinking about how to use the power of everyday spaces, places, activities and things to support wellbeing.
When I’m thinking about the environment it might be a range of different layers. For example, the sensory or physical environment, cultural and social environment, economic, geographical and political environments all play a role in our wellbeing.
On a practical day to day level, I adore working with parents and families to unlock the power of their everyday spaces, places and activities so that they can feel nourished and supported without adding jobs to their list.
Do you have spaces, places and activities that nourish and support you?
