Where do Occupational therapists who specialize in mental health work?

Answer by Stimpson J. Cat
Most likely in psychiatric hospitals or hospitals that deal in physical health but also have a psychiatric wing. I would imagine they would also work in residential treatment facilities.

Answer by Skargaemer
Usually for schools, like a school district will have maybe one or two OTs for all of the schools in the district. I've also seen a few OTs work at mental health clinics.

possibly a school for students with emotinal disabilities

Answer by Kate
I've seen OTs work hand in hand with PTs, SLPs, doctors and nurses.
I work at a training center (institution) for mentally handicapped adults (there is an MH unit on our campus). They assist the individuals with daily living skills, swallowing food, and sensory defiencies.
