Occupational therapists provide cost effective solutions for mental health services
Occupational therapists work with service users to help them to regain and maintain a personally satisfying routine of everyday activities – this could include self care, leisure or work activities - that they need or want to do, in order to help people experiencing mental health problems to live life their way. By working in this way, occupational therapists can ensure service users choose health-enhancing activity and alter lifestyle habits such as smoking, diet and exercise.
