In their own words

“The amazing OTTP Team at Independence High School literally brought wellness services outside of the Wellness Center and into the larger community. Their approach through activity-based therapy has helped us support many more students who would've never walked into the Wellness Center for services. OTs have revolutionized our service delivery system, and we are a more effective student support program because of them!”

Dre Collaco, LCSW PPSC · Independence HS Wellness Coordinator

“It is so challenging to have a child who struggles with mental health and has issues that I can't help with… After my son started seeing a nurse practitioner, psychiatrist, and a therapist here at OTTP, it was a breath of fresh air — not only for him, but for me. He was able to express himself, he was able to get off of medication, and he was able to live like a normal child.”

Janet, OTTP Parent
