Various federal and regional policies, compounded by stigma, keep the formerly incarcerated disenfranchised by restricting access to housing, employment and community engagement. OBJECTIVE: This case study highlights how public health crises of one large county led to the piloting of a multidisciplinary team to improve quality of life outcomes for those frequently arrested. METHODS: Occupational therapy was integrated into an interdisciplinary team developed to promote community integration among participants. RESULTS: Occupational therapy aided the client in overcoming barriers of community engagement while increasing skills for independent living. CONCLUSION: By highlighting evidence-based interventions and multidisciplinary approaches, the case study illustrates the complexity of need among this population and how occupational therapy contributes to housing stability, behavioral health management, occupational engagement and quality of life. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
