Sexualitet, ergoterapi och PLISSIT

10.06.2021 ,

Vi i ERGT19 fick vara med om en temaförmiddag som handlade om sexualitet med inriktning på sexualitet hos personer med funktionsvariation. Vi tog del av ett studiematerial och fick sedan diskutera i smågrupper frågor gällande ergoterapeutens uppgifter, samt våra egna åsikter om ämnet. Sexualitet hos personer med funktionsvariationer är något man inte pratar mycket om i allmänheten. Dessa personer kan lämnas ofta utan sexualundervisning, deras sexuella hälsa glöms bort eller…

Bibliotekets nya samling Lux-Arcada

21.05.2021

Samlingen Lux-Arcada består av skönlitteratur, men tanken med den är inte förströelse, utan att den ska stöda inlärningen på ett konkret plan. Genom skönlitteratur kan man utveckla sin empati och sin förståelse för hur det kan vara att t.ex. leva med en sjukdom eller befinna sig i en situation som man inte har egna erfarenheter av. Skönlitterära verk kan leda till personlig insikt, så att man lär sig om sig…

The future and hidden potential of online events By Essi Saarto

Especially with…
