CAMHS occupational therapists (OTs) help children and young people with challenges linked to mental health difficulties, and work with them to improve their physical, psychological and social wellbeing.<\/p>\n
Occupational therapists work with patients to improve their ability to manage everyday tasks they might otherwise struggle with as a result of a mental health problem.<\/p>\n
CAMHS OTs might see patients on a one-to-one basis or within a group. They can help with issues such as clumsiness or poor coordination, sensory processing difficulties, poor concentration or attention problems and controlling impulses. They may also take young people on activity sessions to help them recover and readjust following a mental health crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div>
