The role of work in the recovery journey: Meaning, transformation, and inclusion
Employment is a dynamic and integral component of recovery. Workplace policies promoting self-awareness, advocacy, and peer support enhance job retention and well-being. Occupational therapists can play a key role in supporting individuals by facilitating workplace accommodations, strengthening self-advocacy skills, and fostering peer support networks, ensuring that employment contributes meaningfully to recovery.
