Fun fact – despite being well known for our role in the physical health environment, Occupational Therapists (OTs) originally started working in mental health settings.
OTs worked with individuals experiencing ‘shell shock’ during World War 1, supporting them to do activities such as basket weaving as a way of engaging them in a meaningful task to help distract them from their negative thoughts.
