Abstract
  • Veterans who experience homelessness are at high risk for physical and mental health challenges. Difficulties with mental health and access to proper medical treatment was a gap found in care for veterans transitioning from homelessness. Therefore, this DCE worked to assess mental health and access to care in veterans transitioning from homelessness. The project aspect focused on the pre/post results of two veteran participants in an individualized mental health intervention program consisting of three sessions over eight weeks. Pre/Post test data showed improvements in both veteran participants in different areas, including mental and physical well-being, healthy leisure/quiet recreation participation, and satisfaction with completion of daily ADLs/IADLs. The experience aspect focused on observing the interdisciplinary workings of the care team for these veterans and creating a new standardized referral system to OT services. The standardized referral system allows prioritization of care and increased preparation prior to OT evaluation.
