As part of  a module in my final year of this course, a classmate and I had to create and justify a role for an occupational therapist in a setting whereby the role of occupational therapy is not well-established or where traditional medical models may not be the best fit. 

My classmate and I completed this project with Lisavaird Co-Op with a focus on farmers mental health due to it being a topical issue in the media. Our mission statement read as follows;  “our mission is to provide accessible and compassionate mental health services tailored to the unique needs of Irish farmers”. 

This project has provided me with valuable skills and knowledge that will undoubtedly benefit me in my future work. It required me to be creative, flexible, and possess the ability to adapt to new environments and populations. Overall, it provided me with the opportunity to expand my skillset, collaborate with other professionals, and advocate for the value of occupational therapy in non-traditional settings.

To the right of this text you can see my classmate and I's completed role emerging project. Below this text you can see the business plan we submitted alongside this. 

To the right of this text you can see my peer and I's completed presentation on the falls prevention group we developed. 

I created this sheet as an occupational therapy student to help me develop an intervention plan for a patient/ client following initial assessment.
