Hello my name is Popi and I am an occupational therapist from Cyprus who studied in the US and currently practicing OT back to Cyprus. I work in mental health services for children and adolesecents.
We are currently working on opening an Inpatient Adolescent Mental Health Clinic which will be the first one in Cyprus. I am at the moment working on drafting the OT's role in such a clinic, and I have to say that this is stressfull because I know that what I write will later become an official document and will affect all the OTs to follow. I would really appreciate if you could sent me any information and your thoughts about the OTs role in such a setting, especially concerning OT groups that could be implemented. I have to give specific categories of OT groups or group types that can be carried out in this setting.
Any information would be extremely valuable!
Thanks a lot,
Popi Moustaka
