Occupational Therapy
The challenge of living with mental illness can make it difficult for people to live independently or engage in activities that are meaningful and enjoyable. For many people experiencing mental illness, can make even the simplest tasks challenging. Many mental health conditions occur along with physical, sensory, or cognitive issues, all of which can have a significant impact on quality of life.

​

Occupational therapists believe that participation in everyday activities is essential for quality mental health and well-being.

At Bridges Health & Community Care we have experienced Mental Health Occupational Therapists and Allied Health Assistants who have varied experience in a broad range of areas and consider your care needs from a holistic perspective.

Our therapists and assistants are dedicated to supporting you through maximising your mental health, physical function, emotional health, safety, and wellbeing for long-term, positive change to achieve the everyday meaningful activities that you engage in.
