MJGreenhough @markgreenhough.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Mixed day - taught on cog rehab in the morning - always do an activity to get them to think about the skills they have used & what it is like to be asked to do tasks- this time it was book designs based on 3 words - then said goodbye to an OT leaving - & then day 4 of my computer not working 010
MJGreenhough @markgreenhough.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Piece of art completed by one of our service users for an exhibition- about their experience of seclusion. Seclusion is there as a protective factor - but also such a restrictive environment can exacerbate further feelings of low self worth. Identity & self worth are so integral to well being. 120
MJGreenhough @markgreenhough.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Had a service user’s poem blown up & printed on material - it covers a double bed! Always keen to look at displaying individual’s identity in different ways. 010

MJGreenhough @markgreenhough.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I’ve been painting portraits of LGBTQ individuals - myself & my husband I like to go back to them & re work. I don’t go in for flattering or soft focus - but the realness of faces & skin. I’d love an exhibition focusing on this theme - ordinary folk that happen to be LGBTQ ….hoping to do more 011
MJGreenhough @markgreenhough.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Goodbye - member of OT has departed & moved on ….so I completed a portrait for her 010
