What is Occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy supports you to live a meaningful and balanced life at home, at work, and in everyday situations, focusing on what matters to you.
An occupation is any activity that we need, want or like to do to live and to look after our physical and mental health, and our emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
They give our lives meaning, purpose and structure. They help shape who we are, connect us with others and help create our identity and sense of belonging. Through occupation we enhance our health and quality of life.
Occupations are particularly important when we’re going through times of change. When we can’t do an occupation anymore or we need to adjust the way we do it, because of ill health or other barriers, our sense of self and purpose may change.
This is where occupational therapy comes in.
