VdTMoCA Foundation (UK) Forensic SIG - 20th January 2021 via Microsoft Teams CURRENTLY POSTPONED
Beth White, OT BSc (Hons) has worked in acute mental health since 2001. Beth is Clinical Lead for OT and physiotherapy, adult and older adult mental health inpatient services at Berrywood Hospital in Northampton.
Like many other Occupational Therapists, Beth has spent many of her earlier years battling with role identity and although having a true commitment to the therapeutic purpose of activity was often unclear as to how to support people meaningfully during their crisis. The VdT Model of Creative Ability has been the key to a new professional confidence and effectiveness for which she is truly grateful and feels very privileged to now have the opportunity to share as a Director of MoCAF (UK) with other Occupational Therapists.
