111 Press 2 – Occupational Therapy support for Mental Health

"We've got that holistic mindset where we very much focus on what is important to that individual and what's meaningful to them at that moment in time… We look not just at the person we look at the environment to support someone in their recovery especially so early on when they first come in through that front door of services… An Occupational Therapist can really enable that individual to do the things that they want to do to improve their mental health and their health and well-being and essentially improve their quality of life."

What is a 111 Press 2 – Occupational Therapy support for Mental Health

Following national roll out of 111 Press 2 services, adding occupational therapy to the team in Swansea Bay has brought a unique skillset to supporting people experiencing mental health symptoms. One to one sessions using digital technologies, identify what is important to the person and focus on improving their quality of life. Through identification of health, social care and third sector organisations, the therapist supports the person to start their journey to recovery.
