Occupational Therapy
The University is responding to the mental health crisis on campus by offering Occupational Therapy services. This is a groundbreaking initiative that will assist Newman students to be successful on campus as well as in their private lives. These services are very effective, especially in conjunction with “talk” therapy. OT is more “doing” therapy where the student will have the opportunity to work on any problem that effects their daily living skills. This can include learning how to deal with anxieties related to academia including socialization, how to get organized, time management, tools to assist with communication with teachers and friends, and managing overall stress.
To complete a referral and schedule an appointment with Newman's Occupational Therapist, please contact the Runway Learning Center (SHH301) or email [email protected] to receive the required paperwork.
