New Year's Resolutions

Happy New Year from Helena Amos Occupational Therapy Limited! As we enter the new year, it's a great time to set goals and make a plan for the year ahead.

Goal setting is an important aspect of occupational therapy as it helps clients to identify and work towards their specific rehabilitation and recovery goals. This process allows clients to take an active role in their own therapy, which can increase motivation and lead to better outcomes.

Occupational Therapy philosophy is based on the importance of meaningful occupation to improve overall health and well-being. Occupational therapy goal setting should therefore focus on helping clients to engage in occupations that are meaningful and fulfilling to them.

It is important to involve the client in the decision-making process and to ensure that the goals set align with the client's personal values and interests. Goals should be realistic and achievable, and should take into account the client's physical, cognitive, and psychosocial abilities.

Some of our client's goals include:

Learning memory compensation strategies to remember appointments or use of a device within the home.

Learning how to better manage anxiety or fatigue

Purchase of equipment and rails to improve independence around the home

Returning to washing and dressing independently

Accessing the local community or returning to a hobby

At Helena Amos Occupational Therapy Limited, we believe in the importance of goal setting in the therapy process. Our team of skilled therapists is dedicated to helping clients set and achieve meaningful and achievable goals that lead to improved function and quality of life. If you or a loved one is in need of occupational therapy, don't hesitate to reach out to us to see how we can help. Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year!
