How Mental Health Patients Benefit from Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists are trained to identify difficulties in performing daily activities. They help address these underlying problems through patient and caregiver education, practicing life management skills, adapting tasks or environment and developing coping mechanisms to deal with emotional problems. Our team can work with patients and their loved ones to improve a variety of life management skills.
Locations and Referrals
Our psychiatric occupational therapy team is based in The Johns Hopkins Hospital and offers both inpatient and outpatient services, as well as partial hospitalization. Contact us if you are looking to make an appointment or refer a patient.
