SETTING OVERVIEW
The unit is a specialist assessment and treatment facility for youth. It is primarily an inpatient unit, but also has a day-patient programme.
The inpatient programme varies from 5 week treatment programmes, to shorter assessment admissions. Patients usually transition from the inpatient programme into the day patient programme during their admission.
The unit's intent is to provide patients with a safe therapeutic environment, in which both the patient and their parents can work towards strengthening individual, and family functioning.
This presentation will look at a paediatric mental health case study that I was involved in during an Otago Polytechnic, Occupational Therapy placement. It aims to give an overview of the case, and outlines the challenges I faced as an Occupational Therapy Student whilst going through the Occupational Therapy process. Some sections have comments, so please feel free to explore these. Created by Megan Moffat Occupational Therapy Student Otago Polytechnic
