Occupational Therapist, Tuomarila Family Support Center, Espoo - Länsi-Uudenmaan hyvinvointialue - Espoo, Finland

Family rehabilitation is stabilizing and rehabilitative intensive outpatient support. Working with families and supporting parents in their educational role, as well as finding and strengthening the child's and family's own resources, are central in this work. The rehabilitation periods are planned and implemented together with the family, taking into account the child's and family's specific needs. Our guiding values in daily work are respectful interaction, individuality, participation, and positivity. These values are reflected both in client work and in the work environment. The duties of an occupational therapist include assessing and supporting the functioning of children and parents, as well as strengthening rehabilitative activities according to goals. Family rehabilitation goals are developed in collaboration with the family, and as an occupational therapist, you support these goals and help break them down into smaller parts. A key role of the occupational therapist is to be intentionally present in the families' daily lives, where daily functioning is most visible. As an occupational therapist, you guide, model, and reflect on situations with families. As an occupational therapist, you provide consultation and reflection support to other team members through your specialized expertise.
