What is Activity-based Mental Health Treatment?
Activity-Based Mental Health Treatment is a therapeutic approach that focuses on supporting you to engage in activities and exercises to improve mental well-being. We recognize the importance of physical, emotional, and social activities in promoting mental health. This form of treatment can be used in combination with other therapies or as a standalone approach, depending on your needs and preferences.
Key Components
Tailored Activities
Our occupational therapists work with you to identify activities that align with your interests, skills, and therapeutic goals. These activities can range from physical exercises like yoga, sports, or hiking to creative pursuits like art, photography, music, or writing.
Exposure Therapy
Our occupational therapists often incorporate this type of activity-based treatment as a technique to address anxiety. Through gradual exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli we can help you manage anxiety responses, and learn functional ways to cope with distressing situations.
Social Engagement
Some treatment activities involve group participation, fostering social connections and a sense of belonging. Group dynamics can be particularly beneficial if you are experiencing feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Discover a Unique Path to Well-Being:
Our approach to mental health treatment involves crafting a personalized plan to help you feel better in a way that aligns with your existing life and values. The process begins with an open conversation where we will build trust and determine if activity-based occupational therapy makes sense for you. Together, we collaboratively set goals based on what matters most to you. By incorporating activities and exercises that resonate with your preferences, we seamlessly integrate positive changes into your daily routine, making your rehab/recovery practical.
Ongoing Support & Adaptability:
Our commitment doesn't end with the initial plan. We regularly check in to gauge your progress, making any necessary adjustments along the way. This ensures that the plan evolves with your needs, putting you firmly in control of your journey to improved mental health. Moreover, we encourage you to involve friends and family, turning your well-being into a team effort that strengthens your support network.
