Ergotherapy

Our ergotherapy supports patients in restoring their ability to act in everyday and professional life that has been lost or restricted due to illness or disability. The overarching goal is to achieve the greatest possible independence in the three areas of life: self-care, work and leisure activities.

For patients with a mental illness, ergotherapy mainly consists of crafting and creative activities, as well as the promotion of cognitive abilities.

Crafts and creativity

Our group therapy sessions have the following goals:

To self-motivate
To discover, develop and improve your creative skills - working with clay, wood, soapstone, paint, silk and basket weaving
To promote basic work skills, such as punctuality, concentration, perseverance and comprehension
To promote social interaction
To improve perception and self-assessment
To attain mental stability and self-confidence

Promoting cognitive abilities

Group therapy sessions train concentration, attention, memory, perception, logic and word-finding. The aim is the exercise effect and not the end product.

Individual advancement of patients with neurological disorders

Individual therapy sessions offer individual focal points, e.g. motor skills, everyday activities and cognitive exercises as well as auxiliary counseling.
