Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy can prevent injury or the worsening of existing conditions or disabilities and it promotes independent functioning in individuals who may otherwise require institutionalization or other long-term care.

Mental Health Disabilities

Staff members use both individual and group therapy in outpatient, inpatient, and community settings. Our staff evaluates the thinking and daily-living skills of each patient to determine the level of support and/or supervision needed after being discharged from the hospital.

They Help People of All Ages to Identify and Learn Practical Solutions to Daily Life Problems, Including:

• Development of and maintaining healthy relationships
• Development of coping strategies aimed at developing and improving coping and interpersonal skills, with the focus on everyday life situations
• Management of anxiety and stress
• Management of daily living and work tasks (personal hygiene, money management, cooking, shopping)
