Mental Health Practices

Following a stroke, depression and anxiety may negatively affect recovery and decrease quality of life. Occupational therapy (OT) practitioners are distinctly qualified to address both the physical and psychosocial sequelae of a stroke, including clients’ mental and emotional health. This study explored the ways in which OT practitioners address the mental health needs of clients post stroke. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was used to collect both survey and focus group data. In all, 754 OT practitioners across the United States completed an online survey, and 10 practitioners participated in focus groups. Practitioners considered their clients’ mental health needs to be a priority (68.17%); however, only 56.64% were satisfied with the care they provided related to mental and emotional health. They identified barriers that included limited time, increased productivity standards, expectations related to physical recovery, and poor educational preparation. Practitioners are motivated to improve their provision of mental health services to clients post stroke. To address the conflict between practice realities and professional values, education programs should better integrate curricular components that focus on physical and mental health.

The chapter “Classroom-Based Services for Adolescents With Mental Health Needs,” in School Mental Health Services for Adolescents, describes a classroom-based three-tiered framework of prevention and intervention that is efficient and cost-effective. A rationale is provided for why the three-tiered framework, typically applied at the school-wide level, is also a good fit for individual classrooms. Following the rationale, the chapter provides details of specific interventions across the three tiers that have solid or emerging evidence for effectiveness in secondary settings. For each intervention, a rationale is provided, followed by specific procedures and strategies for implementation, as well as research to support the effectiveness of the intervention. The chapter ends by discussing broader implementation issues in the form of individual barriers teachers face and larger systemic barriers in secondary school settings.
