The Bridge
Welcome to the latest edition of the Research Centre for Occupation & Mental Health’s e-bulletin, The Bridge.  Since the new year we have been doing lots of work on our new website, we have also updated the format of The Bridge.  Rather than lengthy articles in The Bridge you will find summaries with links to news and articles on our website.

As part of our website development we are also considering whether to extend our communications through facebook, twitter and/or linkedin.   Would you like to see RCOMH communicating through one or more of these social media?  Please take part in our survey at the bottom right hand side of the webpage and vote for the one you use the most.  www.yorksj.ac.uk/RCOMH
   
WFOT supporting RCOMH
The World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) electronic newsletter was e-mailed to WFOT delegates and 70 member organisations on 11th February 2010, the edition included an article on the Research Centre for Occupational and Mental Health (RCOMH). We are delighted that WFOT is supporting the development of RCOMH by profiling the centre in its newsletter. Team RCOMH is also mentioned by Sam Shann, VP Finance in her report to WFOT Council members.
