  This is a fact sheet that talks about the roles that OTs can play in a community mental health setting. This is a setting that would allow OTs to work primarily with the psychosocial needs of clients. Settings that fall into this category include: community mental health centers, assertiveness community treatment teams, psychosocial clubhouses, homeless and women's shelters, correctional facilities, senior centers, after-school programs, as well as homes and workplaces. OTRs and COTAs in these settings focus on providing services that promote physical and mental health and wellness, habilitation and rehabilitation, and approaches that are recovery-oriented. Research suggests that OT services and interventions can have a positive impact on those with mental illnesses living in the community.
