TITLE : Beyond Coping Skills: Designing Occupation-Based Intervention for Mental Health Practice.
Part 2 (In-Service / Case-Based) From Insight to Action: Designing Occupation-Based Goals and Interventions. Case-based application of trauma-informed care, goal writing, and real-world intervention planning
ABOUT THE TALK: “From Insight to Action” – This interactive session translates theory into practice through case-based application. Participants will develop occupation-based goals and intervention plans that integrate trauma-informed principles, cognitive and sensory considerations, and real-world contexts. Emphasis is placed on practical clinical reasoning, measurable outcomes, and strategies that support sustainable participation across diverse settings. Participants will leave with practical tools and examples that can be immediately applied in their own practice settings.
This is the second session in a two-part series. While each session stands alone, attending both is recommended for the fullest learning experience and maximum benefit. If you missed Part 1 on 28 May, it is available on the Impact Learning EXPRESS CPD subscription platform.
