Looking forward to your work @OT_Jim ! #OTalk

Not yet, I’m part of @Keirwales working group for the professions position statement on EUPD. But I’ve looked into writing up and publishing some ideas about Kawa’s application in supportive discharge, #OTalk



After yesterday's @TheOTShow , @SunderlandOT students under leadership of @CathTurner7 had a Kawa Model session of their own today featuring Q&A with @teohjouyin !

Very happy to have you with us @WonderingOT - I'm sure your patients see you as a very important part of their flow! #OccupationalTherapy

Completely entranced by Michael Iwama's presentation on @KawaModel. As always he spoke eloquently about many things including making sure we work with our patients and in a way that suits them. He ended by reminding us to "look for the blue" 💙 #VirtualCareFestival @TheOTShow



That is a very nice metaphor for hope @WintRebecca - keep looking for the blue!

Enjoyed revisiting the @KawaModel today @TheOTShow looking for trickles of water (hope) is massively important in #occupationaltherapy practice & to support people to find this we must hear their narrative



Glad you enjoyed it @sarahcrs10 - also many thanks to @TheOTShow for making this year's format so accessible!

Catching up on #VirtualCareFestival's @KawaModel presentation while I cook dinner. This model resonates more every time I hear about it, and hearing directly from Michael Iwama really brought it to life. OT's as "life flow enablers"😍!!

Starting final day of the OT show with an inspirational talk from @michael_iwama on the @KawaModel within the context of #COVID The talk challenged my thinking to ensure use of the most appropriate OT model for each client #VirtualCareFestival #OccupationalTherapy #ValueOfOT #CPD

Thank you @CovUniOT for hosting this!

A huge thank you to @michael_iwama for such an inspirational talk about the @KawaModel. An absolute honour to listen to his OT journey and insights. A huge thank you to @CovUniOT for arranging such a wonderful opportunity for future OTs.



Thank you!

What a privilege to be able to join fellow @CovUniOT students and staff hearing Michael Iwama speaking about @KawaModel this afternoon. Simple things that emphasised the centrality of warm humanity in his message - his name tag included his gender pronouns.



Are you joining us at the OT Show? otshow.com - Dr Iwama speaking now, and will be in the chatroom at the end of the session to answer questions!

Do you use the #kawamodel to guide your cognitive processes as an #occupationaltherapist ? We would like to hear from you! #OccupationalTherapy

All these reflections are are very much influenced by @KawaModel dynamics I suppose. Would be interesting to organise them into river visuals and to see how the components interact with one another. #IAmAnOT20 does anybody have any questions to ask or learning to share?



Do we have any colleagues who use the #KawaModel together with #ACT who would like to weigh in?

Anyone using @KawaModel? Use of metaphor feels #ACT familiar. Does Kawa help distinguish ‘what’s useful’ in your thinking (as opposed to just true/false) and wether it moves it you closer to your values? Are occupations related to personal values? @Keirwales @katebinnington
