Empowering Families: Effective Support in
OT Service Delivery
This workshop explores the unique dynamics and needs of each family. We will discuss the impact of various factors such as mental and physical health difficulties, trauma, family violence, poverty, unemployment, homelessness, and substance use on family functioning, and how these factors can affect NDIS participant outcomes.
- Gain insights into effectively gathering valuable information about a participant’s family and close others during assessments.
- Explore key theories from Family Therapy literature to understand family systems dynamics and their relevance to occupational therapy practice.
- Consider the diverse issues that impact family functioning and identify strategies to address them within the NDIS context.
- Reflect on our role and conduct as occupational therapists in providing positive support to both NDIS participants and their families.
- Acquire practical tips and techniques for communicating effectively with families, identifying their strengths, and fostering collaborative goal attainment.
- Explore effective self-care strategies to maintain professional well-being when working with families facing complex needs, ensuring sustainable and impactful support delivery.
Join us as we embark on a journey to empower occupational therapists with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate the complexities of family-sensitive practice within the NDIS landscape, ultimately fostering positive outcomes for participants and their families alike.
