Description: Over the past 30+ years in clinical practice with specific immersion in mental health practice and training in the last 10 years, multiple diagnosis has arrived at our doorstep at A Total Approach. The three diagnosis highlighted here, has been a particular field of study for our team as our assessment and intervention programs support the developmental aspects of different profiles. Clinical questions emerged as we embarked on the journey of supporting our clients in different ways unique to each profile. In this recorded 3-webinar workshop series, we will take a deeper look at the characteristics of each diagnosis and discuss the developmental considerations that could have been addressed perhaps earlier in clients’ lives and may have strengthened some vulnerabilities to ease the manifestation of these diagnosis. This webinar series holds a bid for occupational therapists to work in tandem with mental health professionals so health and wellbeing could be a sooner outcome for many. Included will be discussion on intervention ideas that have proven helpful to improve outcomes.

- Mental Health professionals who would like to understand the support that occupational therapists can add to the team process
