OUR SERVICES:
MENTAL HEALTH
What do we do?
Our occupational therapists are trained to provide high quality mental health services. We support people with a range of conditions.
​
Occupational therapy supports people to be able to participate in meaningful activities that help improve mental health and wellbeing. We work with individuals to support them to develop, improve or recover skills relating to activities of daily living. We work in a client-centred, strengths-based approach that allows us to identify what is working well for the individual and what barriers to mental health can be addressed by providing strategies, or by changing the environment.

​
-
Manage different emotions and improve mood

Budget personal finances
