ON-DEMAND WEBINAR PURCHASE
Clients with eating disorders, trauma, phobia, and other fear-related disorders can benefit from exposure therapy. However, generalization of skills from outside the clinic/therapy meeting remains a challenge in mental health settings. Occupational therapists are uniquely positioned to help clients work on their goals in-vivo (i.e. in naturalistic settings) which can increase generalization and uptake of skills.
This webinar will provide an overview of the efficacy of task-specific therapy/naturalistic settings and exposure therapy in mental health. The current role of occupational therapists in trauma, phobia and eating disorders will be explained, as well as how occupational therapists can excel in task-specific therapy in naturalistic settings. The presenter will share some examples of community-based, task-specific therapeutic interventions that have shown to promote functional improvements in these client populations.
