Mental health affects a large number of children and young people worldwide. The role of child and youth mental health services is to provide timely assessment and interventions to improve the well-being and standard of life of children and youth with mental health conditions, foster child development, and ultimately save lives. This chapter explores the role of occupational therapists when providing services to children, families, and carers. The chapter summarises common models of practice used by occupational therapists and provides a synopsis of common conditions seen in child and youth mental health settings. The chapter then introduces common recovery-oriented interventions used when working with children and young people experiencing mental health problems and their carers and families.
