What happens during a mental health OT assessment

During your mental health OT assessment, your therapist will focus on how your mental health affects your daily life and your ability to reach your personal goals. We look at how you manage everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, personal care, and household routines, as well as how you connect with family, friends, and your community. We also explore emotional regulation and coping strategies to find approaches that best suit your needs. Your home and environment are reviewed to identify any adjustments that could support your wellbeing and independence.

Together, we set goals related to study, work, social participation, or personal growth. We assess key skills like planning, organisation, memory, decision-making, and focus to help you stay on top of daily life. Throughout the process, we work closely with you to ensure all interventions are practical, realistic, and aligned with your priorities.

We can help with:

• Reviewing daily living skills and routines
• Assessing social participation and engagement
• Coping strategies and emotional regulation support
• Home and environment adjustments for independence
• Goal-setting for personal growth, work, or study
• Evaluating executive functioning
