Mental Health:  Occupational therapy’s inclusion of mental health services with all clients across practice settings is one of the things that distinguishes us from other rehabilitation professionals. This focus is clear in psychiatric inpatient and outpatient facilities, but it is also essential in settings such as general hospitals and skilled nursing facilities; and community settings such as case management organizations, transitional living programs, and home care. By including mental health in our holistic approach, practitioners help all individuals develop and maintain positive mental health, prevent mental ill health, and/or recover from mental health challenges to live full and productive lives. This issue of the SIS Quarterly Practice Connections highlights the positive outcomes of occupational therapy interventions that address mental health.
