Practice Specialty
What is Mental Health Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy focuses on promoting health and well-being through everyday activities, known as "occupations." These activities encompass the daily tasks individuals engage in within their families and communities to bring meaning and purpose to their lives.
The primary goal of Occupational Therapy is to enable people to participate in activities they want, need, or are expected to do in their daily lives. Occupational Therapists prioritise understanding individuals personal goals, asking "What matters to you?" rather than "What’s the matter with you?"
In mental health occupational therapy, therapists draw upon a range of specialised tools and structured psychological techniques. They are trained to support individuals with mental illness (psychosocial disability), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Intellectual Disability (ID) by enhancing their skills for independent participation in everyday activities.
Occupational therapists (OTs) are indispensable allies in the journey towards mental health recovery and wellbeing.
