September is Su***de Prevention Month, and at the Quincy University Occupational Therapy Department, we recognize that mental health is a fundamental pillar of overall health, well-being, and meaningful daily participation.

As occupational therapists and future practitioners rooted in Franciscan values of compassion, dignity, and service, our role goes beyond physical rehabilitation. We are dedicated to supporting mental health, fostering resilience, and helping individuals build purposeful routines that sustain them through life's challenges.

Occupational therapy promotes mental wellness by empowering individuals to engage in activities they find meaningful, building coping strategies, and creating supportive environments where everyone feels valued and connected.You are never alone, and your life has purpose.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available:Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (free, confidential, and available 24/7).Text HOME to 741741 to connect with the Crisis Text Line.

Let’s continue to break the stigma, check in on one another, and support mental health every single day. ***dePreventionMonth

National Grief Awareness Day 💜

Grief is a deeply personal and complex journey that can impact every facet of daily life—from simple daily routines to meaningful activities and roles.

At Quincy University’s Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) Program, we recognize that healing involves addressing the whole person. Occupational therapy practitioners play a crucial role in supporting individuals through grief by:
✨ Re-engaging in Meaningful Activities: Helping clients safely rebuild routines and reconnect with everyday occupations that promote purpose and comfort.
✨ Adapting Daily Routines: Modifying environments, tasks, or schedules to match an individual's emotional and physical energy levels during times of loss.
✨ Promoting Emotional & Physical Well-being: Incorporating holistic wellness, mindfulness, and coping strategies into personalized therapy plans.

Grief is not something to be "fixed"—it is a journey to be navigated. OTs are dedicated to walking alongside clients, helping them find balance, function, and hope along the way.
