Friday, 16 January, 2026
Mental health is one of occupational therapy’s smallest practice areas.Because relatively few OTs work in traditional mental health settings, it can feel like an enigma:What does mental health OT actually look like day to day?Where do we fit on interdisciplinary teams?And how does occupation truly show up in mental health care?At the same time, there may be no better home for occupational therapy’s core values than mental health practice.In this course, Intro to Mental Health OT, we zoom out to ground you in the big picture—while also getting practical about what mental health OT looks like in real clinical contexts.We’ll be joined by a practicing occupational therapist and champion of the profession, Michelle Burlyga, OTR/L.Together, we’ll walk through:Common assessments used in mental health OTCore treatment approaches and intervention strategiesKey considerations for mental health practice that differ from other OT settingsWhy mental health competencies are increasingly essential—no matter where you practiceYou’ll leave with a clearer mental model of mental health occupational therapy—and a stronger sense of how OT’s distinct focus on occupation can play a powerful role in supporting mental health and recovery.See full course details here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-courses/intro-to-mental-health-otSee all OT CEU courses here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-coursesSupport the show by using the OTPOTENTIAL Medbridge Code:https://otpotential.com/blog/promo-code-for-medbridgeTry 2 free OT Potential courses here:https://otpotential.com/free-ot-ceusSupport the show
