Abstract
  • There is an increased need for treatment and recovery for homeless Veterans suffering from mental health and substance use disorders. The Indianapolis Domiciliary Care Program for Homeless Veterans provides such care for these Veterans (Wenzel et al., 1995). Veterans participate in recovery groups, treatment sessions, and eventually discharge and reintegrate back into the community. I identified a need for education on daily occupations (i.e., IADLs, leisure) since there is not an occupational therapist on site. The six-week program, Daily Life Skills, was designed to target everyday tasks an individual may perform and the education to be able to do so independently while focusing on three domains (anxiety, confidence, motivation). A pre/post Likert Scale tool was utilized to capture the results of each group. The results of the program indicated that providing these Veterans with the resources, knowledge, and ability to complete everyday occupations more independently equated to improved levels of anxiety, confidence, and motivation in their respective manners.
