Child & Adolescent Mental Health in OT
OCCP4084
Child and adolescent mental health is an emerging field of occupational therapy practice. Particularly within the context of Australia, the valuable skills of occupational therapists are greatly under-utilised within child and adolescent mental health settings. Furthermore, for many paediatric occupational therapists, more emphasis is needed in addressing the mental health needs of the children and young people with whom they work. This unit of study will explore the mental health conditions which commonly affect the everyday occupations of children and adolescents, and at the role of the occupational therapist during assessment and intervention. Lectures, problem solving, video case material and printed handouts will be used to facilitate learning.
