Sessions include personal care, community skills, cooking skills, social skills, and a variety of topic based groups and vocational opportunities. This will be an opportunity for you to see our patients through the eyes of an occupational therapist and you will receive teaching and guidance about how to use occupation as a therapeutic medium.
