From therapy to vocation

Abstract

Sarah Bourne and colleagues describe the success of a pilot study to explore whether focused occupational therapy input within a community mental health team could help clients achieve better vocational outcomes. The study found that, with individualised assessment and support, a significant number of people were able to move on to a range of socially inclusive opportunities ‐ although fitting the work into already packed caseloads was a major challenge for the occupational therapists involved.
