Advocating for Mental Health Occupational Therapy

We will work at the state, national, and international levels to increase the understanding and availability of mental health OT services in order to benefit our clients and their communities.

​

We will accomplish this through:

​

Governmental, legislative, and parliamentary advocacy to support insurance reimbursement for mental health OT services

​

Advocating for parity in status and authority with other mental health service providers

​

Educating the public, government, and other professionals about our value to the mental health community

​

Advocacy to expand our reach and roles to increase our role in community and out-patient services and other diverse contexts
