Safety First in Occupational Therapy

Before we start building skills, setting goals or trying new activities, we focus on safety.

Feeling safe and accepted - physically, emotionally and socially - is the foundation for growth at any age.

In OT, safety means:
💛 Creating environments where clients feel secure and supported

💛 Helping the nervous system settle so learning and engagement are possible

💛 Building trust between therapist and client

Notice where you feel safest and bring elements of that safety into daily life - whether it’s a cozy corner, a calming routine or connecting with someone you trust.

✨ This past Saturday, CHATTERBOX was proud to be part of the Cayman Islands Cancer Society’s Health & Wellness Fair at Hotel Indigo! 🌿💙

Our booth was buzzing with conversations about therapy, wellbeing and the power of community. 🗣️💫

Visitors stopped by to learn more about our services and how we support both children and adults on their journey to better health.

A huge highlight was our very own psychotherapist, Giselle, who gave an inspiring talk 🧠💭 - sharing tools and insights on mental health that had the audience nodding, reflecting and leaving with fresh perspectives. 🙌

Events like this remind us why we do what we do: connecting, educating and creating a healthier Cayman together. 🌴✨

✨ Pillars of Intimacy – A Workshop Just for Women ✨

Ever feel like life, work and routine get in the way of feeling truly connected - to yourself or your partner?

You’re not alone.

That’s why we’re launching something new at CHATTERBOX: The Pillars of Intimacy Workshop.

Over 4 relaxed weekly sessions, we’ll explore what intimacy really means - beyond the obvious stuff.

Think:
💙 Emotional intimacy (feeling safe, seen & heard)
🧠 Intellectual intimacy (getting on the same page)
🌸 Experiential intimacy (bringing back fun & connection)
🔥 Physical/Sexual intimacy (reconnecting with desire)

Led by psychotherapist, Giselle Edwards, this is a warm, women-only space where you can learn, share, laugh and take away practical tools for everyday life.

No pressure, no judgment - just honest conversation and support.

📍 CHATTERBOX, South Church Street
📅 Sept 23, 30, Oct 7 & 14
🕠 5:30–7:00 pm
💲 CI$100 per session

Come as you are - no partner required. Just bring yourself and a little curiosity. 💫

💜 Today at 1:30 pm, our psychotherapist, Giselle Edwards, will be speaking at the Cayman Islands Cancer Society Health & Wellness Fair at Hotel Indigo!

Her talk, “Beyond Hot Flashes: Sexual and Relational Impacts of Perimenopause”, explores a topic that’s often left in the shadows.

🌸 What exactly is perimenopause?

It’s the transition before menopause when hormones shift, cycles change and symptoms begin - yet it’s rarely talked about openly.

Giselle will be exploring:
💜 How perimenopause affects intimacy and relationships
💜 The emotional side of this transition
💜 Ways therapy can help women (and couples) navigate changes with confidence and connection

This is a chance to learn, ask questions, and break the silence around women’s health.

👉 If you’re at the fair today, don’t miss it!

And don't forget to come and say "Hi!" to us at the CHATTERBOX booth and enter our competition to win a CHATTERBOX gift certificate!

🌐 Teletherapy at CHATTERBOX

Flexible. Personalised. Just as effective.

At CHATTERBOX, we understand that life doesn’t always fit neatly into a schedule - especially when you’re juggling school runs, work demands or simply living in a more remote part of the island. That’s where teletherapy comes in.

Teletherapy means you can access high-quality, personalised therapy sessions - whether speech and language, occupational therapy or counselling/psychotherapy - from the comfort of your own space.

All you need is an internet connection, a device with a camera and a quiet spot to connect.

Why Choose Teletherapy?

✨ Convenience – No travel time, no traffic, no hassle.
✨ Consistency – Regular sessions, even during holidays, bad weather or illness.
✨ Comfort – Children (and adults!) often feel more at ease in their familiar surroundings.
✨ Connection – Our therapists use engaging digital tools, interactive games and creative strategies to build strong therapeutic relationships - even through a screen.

We’ve supported clients across the Cayman Islands and beyond with teletherapy, helping them make real progress, stay on track and feel supported every step of the way.

Who is Teletherapy for?

Teletherapy works beautifully for:
Children who thrive with visual supports and structure
Teens who prefer the privacy of their own room
Adults balancing therapy around a busy schedule
Families who live off-island or can’t make it to sessions in person

And don’t worry - we’ll guide you through everything you need to get started.

If you're unsure whether teletherapy is the right fit for you or your child, we’re happy to have a chat and explore the best options.

🖍️ How to Choose the Right Crayons for Your Child

The right crayons can make colouring more comfortable, fun, and even help develop fine motor skills. Here’s what to look for:

1️⃣ Match the crayon size to the hand – Smaller hands do better with shorter, thicker crayons; older children may prefer slimmer styles for more control.

Rock crayons – Small, pebble-shaped crayons that encourage a good grip.

Jumbo wax crayons – Thick and sturdy, ideal for younger children or those building hand strength.

Triangular crayons – Help guide little fingers into the right grip and stop crayons from rolling away.

Thin wax crayons – Great for older children or those practising school-ready pencil grips; breaking them into halves can encourage the right grasp.

Twistable crayons – No sharpening needed; mini versions for small hands, full-sized for older children.

Choosing the right crayon type can make colouring easier, more enjoyable, and even support your child’s development.

✂️ How to Choose the Right Scissors for Your Child

The right pair of scissors can make learning to cut easier, safer, and more fun. Here’s what to keep in mind:

1️⃣ Match the size to the hand – For small hands, choose small scissors. They’re easier to control and help build confidence.

2️⃣ Think about blade length and tip – Shorter blades are best for beginners and blunt tips reduce the risk of accidents.

3️⃣ Choose scissors for their skill level – From first snips to more advanced cutting, select a style that matches where your child is in their learning.

Safety scissors – Plastic blades are ideal for toddlers just starting out.

Benbow or small-sized scissors – Good for young children or those developing fine motor skills. Remember: thumb on top, fingers underneath for support.

Left-handed scissors – Designed for left-handers so they can cut comfortably and accurately.

Spring-loaded scissors – These open automatically after each cut, making them easier for some children to use.

Loop scissors – No finger holes; just squeeze to cut. Helpful for children who find regular scissors tricky to handle.

4️⃣ Ask for advice if needed – An Occupational Therapist can help you choose the best option for your child’s needs, especially if cutting is part of therapy goals.

The right scissors not only make cutting safer but can also help children develop important hand skills and independence.
