What OTs and OTAs are saying about these courses
"It was fascinating! I loved it! Very understandable and relatable. I feel like I can apply it in areas to most of my caseload even if the focus of care is not mental health related"
"I found this course to be very good, informational wise and keeping my attention through out the presentation."
"I see many people who are being discharged from the hospital with prescriptions for these types of medications. I have never thought about educating patients or family members about these guidelines or assisting with any concerns they may have."
Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants are uniquely trained to address the mental health needs of individuals across all practice settings.

Mental health courses created JUST for OT!
Choosing Aspire OT for your CE needs means you are supporting other OT and OTA instructors as well as our partner occupational therapy associations.
