The new edition of this fantastic book provides a step-by-step guide to designing and implementing an occupation-centered program in a community setting. The book is divided into six sections. Part I introduces the ideas of community and occupation, offering the foundations to understanding the purpose of community-based programs, and what they can potentially achieve. Part II looks at the design phase, highlighting issues such as a community’s profile and its existing assets, before Part III focusses on practical issues around implementation, from funding and grantsmanship to staffing and promotion. Part IV examines the evaluation process while Parts V and VI showcase examples of successful programs in different communities, as well as new areas where community programs could make an impact. The book is informed by an overarching concern for sustaining positive change with attention to the development and management of both profit and nonprofit organizations. Updated with the latest contemporary models and framework for understanding this evolving field, and covering topics such as productive aging, substance abuse, homelessness, asylum seekers, and the LGBTQ community, Developing Occupation-Centered Programs With the Community, fourth edition, is the ideal workbook for any student or practitioner engaged in this important field of practice.
