The presenter expressed opinions without doing research on the topic area. One Example: she did not do research on which OT programs teach mental health and to what extent. Instead she just said basically our programs don’t adequately prepare students based on 1 person’s opinion. This is not true from my experience and from my OT doctorate training. There were also other statements that were opinion based and not fact based.

by

I appreciate the review of the statistics regarding mental health struggles with students that OTs need to be aware of daily. I also appreciate the mention of the two programs that promote self-regulation among students dealing with these mental health concerns. I knew of one of them, but not the other, so that will be a great resource. I think the statistics were focused on just a bit too much, and not enough time was spent on the intervention programs being recommended, my personal opinion.

Important topic and presenter
by
Amanda
on
July 12, 2021
The course was a decent overview of school-based mental health, but doesn't really get into any nitty-gritty. It is not helpful to respond that as a professional we should "intuitively" know when students are showing poor mental health- this is what makes professionals hesitant to address it! Clear signals and using our professional knowledge of how mental health and trauma impacts function should be used. I wish more time was spent on Zones and Powerfully You for more practical use.
by

Dr. Keen did an excellent job presenting the information. This information will be very useful as students that worked remotely will return back to the school. building. Both the Zones of Regulation and Powerfully You are wonderful programs that I look forward to using with my students when school resumes in September!

This course helped me better understand Zones and then introduced me to Powerfully You that will help me as I prepare for students in the fall. With COVID this past year, we had a lot of kids dealing with the stress of not seeing friends, masks, family members dying. It was a hard year.

This course was helpful although probably too short. There were several areas that could have been covered in much greater depth.it was a good starting point for those starting to think about how mental health effects school aged children. As an OT who has worked in in-patient mental health in the past it makes me sad to think that that aspect of our profession is getting less recognition.

course was good but very surface based info- would love to see/hear more in-depth mental health components for OTs working with students/in the school system. my perception may be biased as this is an area of high intrigue for me and I've done quite a bit of reading within the topic of mental health/trauma

It was well organized. The theme of how useful OT is in pediatrics/all life span has been lost and it is good for me to hear that people are looking at this as a valuable tool. I have also found that effective use of self can be the BEST tool. I find that this professional quality is also under utilized. I also agree that school admins., guidance and psychologists have other roles that they perform and because of that, their expertise for children requiring emotional support is very minimal.

I enjoyed the presenter pointing out the facts and research. It may have been helpful to dive deeper into the demographics or location of the population researched. I think so many of us feel like, well maybe this doesnt pertain so much to "my school," or "not in my community." With mental heal disorder prevalence so high, and so many factors out of our control in the school setting, it IS important for us to build relationships, be that safe adult. Perhaps more of us OTs need to document the mental health interventions/aspects over time to prove the value.
No more reviews to load.
