Abstract
  • Evidence shows that “occupation-based programs created or implemented by occupational therapy practitioners had better outcomes in performance and symptomatology than treatment as usual, whether services were provided individually or in a group setting” (D’Amico et al., 2018). By integrating an evidence-based connection between the recovery process for individuals with an eating disorder (ED) and occupational therapy (OT) services, practitioners can make a holistic approach to their interventions by impacting nearly every occupation and client factors, such as rest/sleep, instrumental activities of daily living, social participation, cognition, values, and body functions. Through these intervention services, individuals can develop healthy habits in their rest/sleep routine, have proper self-care skills, meal prep, cooking, shopping for clothes, leisure exploration, social participation, and effectively express their emotions (Frost, 2014; Lee & Edget, 2012; Yao et al., 2021; Matusitz & Martin, 2013; Haynos & Roberto, 2017). Research has evaluated that these occupations were the top occupations individuals with serious mental illness struggled with completing. By providing these services, along with enriching community advocacy, this project aims to normalize the discussion of mental health struggles and eating disorders.
