Hi Jessica,
Great question. For those who did not want a cup of tea or who were unable to have a cup of tea still were a part of this as it was seen as a "ritual". They sat around the table and still interacted with those who were having a cup of tea. Most of the time the service users had a cup of tea as they found it a great time to all be together and interact with one another.
Oh
that sounds like a great way to interact with others and build
relationships. Your placement also sounds like it was a very fun
placement. Thank you for your reply.
Above shows the comments that i posted on a interesting blog.
I really like how you have described how a simple cup of tea as being something that is so meaningful because it can build relationship. I was wondering if you could tell what happened on your placement when someone turned down a cup of tea, or did anyone ever turn down a cup of tea?
