Adult Mental Health Support
Occupational Therapists support people of all ages - from children and youth, to adults and the elderly - with improving their mental health. Occupational Therapists work with individuals (and families) to address the mental health related barriers affecting participation in various life roles.
Occupational Therapy interventions focus on improving function and independence through psychosocial, psychoeducational, cognitive, as well as sensory, mindfulness, and exercise based approaches.
