Sunny Day Therapy's Blog- Helping Children & Caregivers Shine, Do, and Thrive

Mental health refers to a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and behave in daily life. It can even affect our physical health & healing.  Mental health also influences how we handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions.  Sunny Day Therapy’s occupational therapy includes a holistic plan of physical, mental, & sensory strategies; we know that the body & mind are connected. Dr. Day’s doctoral work on executive function and pediatric & maternal programs provide a structured, step-by-step path to self-care, wellness, and organization of the mind & body systems. Family-centered care is our passion; caregiver stress has been labeled a national “crisis.”

As a new parent or person struggling with stress or transitions, you may feel overwhelmed by small tasks or have trouble focusing for your activities of daily living. Occupational therapy can provide executive functioning strategies, organizational strategies, environmental strategies, mindfulness, and sensory strategies to help you feel better.

Our wellness plans are personalized, client-centered and evidence-based. Knowledge of the body and brain guide holistic strengthening exercises.
