Really enjoyed the workshop. Great range of topics covered, highlighting real challenges of working with people with psychosocial disability, and practical strategies to create safety, build trust and support systems.
I appreciated the opportunity to hear an experienced MHOT talk about the issue of risk from an NDIS perspective as I don't get to talk about these concepts with others as a sole OT. Very helpful and great resources to follow up on.
