Navigating Uncertainty in Occupational Therapy

Clinical Conversations with Deb Hopper & The Kids OT Pod
Jun 17-19, 10.30am

As OT’s we have to deal with a lot of uncertainty, and I think it’s time that we talked about it. Some days, you may be worried about the upcoming changes with NDIS – how will they impact your job? Other days it might be your clients – maybe you’re feeling out of your depth with a tricky case, or they’re a long-term client and you’re uncertain how to keep helping them. And of course, there’s the uncertainty when it comes to investing in professional development – how do you know what the right PD is for YOU? There’s so much information out there these days, how do you know what a good PD program looks like? How much should you be spending? And how do you decide what skillset you need to be focusing on this year?

Join me in a 3-part Q&A Series starting Monday 17 June to talk about the uncertainty we all feel as OT’s and how to convert that uncertainty to confidence!

I’ll be joined by some wonderful OT facilitators from the Kids OT Pod to discuss uncertainty in OT, and share some of the tools we have assembled over the years to help us move forward with confidence!

➡️ Monday, 17 June – Uncertainty in NDIS: How to cope with a changing landscape

➡️ Tuesday, 18 June – Uncertainty with Clients: What to do when you don’t know what to do

➡️ Wednesday, 19 June – Uncertainty with Training: How to know what PD to invest in

I couldn’t have been luckier in finding and joining The Kids OT POD when I did. Deb and my Kids’ OT POD team have helped me feel confident in what I’m doing and achieving that elusive work-life balance!

I’m so glad I found this! As a new graduate, I’ve been looking for support the past few months as my service can’t recruit a senior OT.

I have found the Kids OT Pod to be the best and most helpful professional online development program. It has helped me build my confidence and provide up-to-date knowledge to help me get back into the profession after being out of the field for over 15 years. Deb has a wealth of knowledge and offers awesome support. I love that I can continue to learn at my own pace and the support from the zoom catch-ups with Deb and other OTs is fantastic, as you can discuss difficult cases and get new ideas and help. I would recommend the Kids OT Pod to anyone working in the paediatric OT field. It’s especially awesome for new grads, solo OTs and people like me, wanting to get back into the profession again.
Thanks Deb for all that you do, it is so helpful !!!!
