SHOUT is back for the new term and tonight Chris Mayers will be getting us off to a great start with her talk on 'The relationship between occupation, person-centred practice and spirituality'.
Chris has worked as an occupational therapy practitioner, lecturer and researcher in London, Dublin and York. Her key areas of research and interest are the use of person-centred practice within occupational therapy; defining spirituality, assessing and meeting spiritual needs; the close relationship between spirituality and the meaningful occupationals of individuals; and the European Cooperation in OT Research and Occupational Science (ECOTROS).
Chris developed the Mayers' Lifestyle Questionnaire (1), (2) and (3); person-centred tools which enable people to state their quality of life priorities at the beginning of occupational therapy intervention.
Within the session we will be exploring and discussing a working definition of spirituality for occupational therapy practice; the relationship of this to occupational engagement; the relationship of spirituality to health and well-being; and ways of assessing spiritual needs.
