Each year, we serve over 1,000 youth in Northern California. OTTP-NorCal youth benefit from our services in a multitude of ways, including:
Below are words about the impacts of our services from staff, the youth we serve, and our community partners
"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, because 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
