- Abstract
The United States has the highest rates of incarceration and recidivism in the world, with justice-involved individuals experiencing the effects of occupational deprivation and mental health issues. The purpose of this research was to address the role of occupational therapy with justice-involved individuals within a work release facility. Sixteen responses were gathered from 5 mental health workshops developed from both an occupational therapy and trauma-informed care perspective. Workshops covered various stress management strategies, including stress exploration, relaxation/meditation, goal setting, emotional regulation, and journaling. Pre- and post-survey data was collected to identify changes in participant knowledge, confidence, and self-perception following each workshop. Significant improvements were found for both participant knowledge and confidence. Participant feedback also indicated a desire for further occupational therapy programming. While further research is needed to fully understand the role of occupational therapy with justice-involved individuals, results indicate the need for occupational therapy services in work release facilities.
