Sessions will be a shorter length of time to ensure engagement from YPs at Self- Presentation level (3). Time and number of steps in an activity can be increased if only YP’s at Passive Participation level are attending.

Sessions will have a mix of activities including:

• An explorations of sensory tools which explore every aspect of the senses i.e. sight, sound, movement, smell, taste and touch.
• Self-evaluation sheets which encourage YP to recognise what sensory strategies are helpful or not.

This presentation provides detail of the occupational performance area of social ability, specifically related to the self-presentation level. 

This information leaflet is designed to provide basic information about the resources and treatment for patients on the self-presentation level for an in-patient mental health setting.
