Abstract

This paper describes implementation of narrative-informed occupation-based service delivery in outpatient community mental health that addresses (1) the need for outcome data on occupational therapy in this setting, (2) an ongoing mental health provider shortage, and (3) a need for innovative approaches to supporting mental health. We found a significant improvement from baseline to post-intervention in occupational participation. Dose of occupational therapy was significantly related to improvements in roles, habits, values, long-term goals, social environment, and readiness for change. This study supports future, larger effectiveness studies of narrative-informed occupation-based intervention delivered by occupational therapists in outpatient community mental health.
