Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of occupational therapy practice in mental health. Occupational therapists often find themselves working in a multidisciplinary team. The occupational therapist (OT) enables and promotes consumers to obtain the skills needed to enhance their ability to participate in or modify the environment to support their participation in everyday occupations. This chapter introduces the occupational therapy process and discusses some common interventions used in mental health, such as supported employment. The chapter concludes by discussing emerging and future mental health occupational therapy practice opportunities.

Keywords: Biopsychosocial approach, Health promotion, Occupation, Occupational therapy, Supported employment.
