OT can enhance occupational being, belonging and becoming, and promote human health and wellness. It can also help specific populations explore their occupational needs to attain high quality of life.
促进人们对于自我存在、归属感和成就感的理解，促进人类健康和福祉。它能帮助特定人群探索他们的作业需求，达到高生活质量。

What is the focus of your current residency?
你在目前的实习点主要学习/做什么?
To observe and study how OT works with children with mental health needs while collaborating with children’s family and other rehabilitation team members. The main focuses are the social and emotional needs of the children together with their caregivers. I also work with my preceptor to develop the observation guide to help with my residency. We discuss a lot about our clients’ needs in natural contexts so that all our evaluation and intervention can serve them in various contexts and make good transformation and adaptation.
观察并学习OT及康复团队其他工作者如何服务于有精神卫生需求的孩子们，并与家长们合作。主要关注点是孩子和他们照料者的社交和情感需求。我也和我的带教老师一起讨论我的实习观察手册以便于更好地展开实习。我们讨论我们的服务对象在不同真实情景中的需求，这样我们的评估和干预都可以更好在不同场景中帮助到他们，帮助他们更好地适应和应对生活中的其他变化。

How do you plan to advance OT in China?
你计划如何推进OT在中国的发展?
My interest area is mental health and community and population health and wellness. To do so, I will first develop ideas and plans for research necessary to understand the various occupational needs of the population in the Chinese community. I hope to keep an open mind to reflect on what I have learned here and develop culturally adaptive programs for people in China. For example, people with mental disorders will experience disruption in various occupations in their lives, so I hope I can help them regain occupational balance for their lives to get a state of harmony in life.
我对于精神卫生、社区和人群健康和福祉很感兴趣。我想做的第一步是理解中国人群社区的多样化作业需求。在这之后以开放的态度设计一些具有文化适应性的作业治疗项目服务于广大人群。比如，患有精神障碍的人们会经历生活中作业活动的崩塌，所以我希望可以帮助他们重拾作业平衡，达到生活的和谐状态。

What are your favorite occupation(s)?
你最喜欢的作业活动是什么?
