Dove Recovery House is an inpatient substance use recovery house for women which aims to “empower women to become substance free, self-sufficient, and healthy, by providing safe housing, quality programming, and – above all – hope for the future” (Dove Recovery House, 2022). Resilience is a key piece to recovery and occupational engagement as it serves as one of the largest contributing factors to preventing relapse. To address these barriers to healthy occupational engagement, I designed a project centered on resilience. Five therapeutic group sessions were held to cover the three main principles of resilience and their relationships to establishing healthy occupational engagement: self-awareness and self-efficacy, realistic views of experiences, and optimism. The project was informed by the Contemporary Trauma Theory and Trauma Informed Care (CORE) model and a thorough needs assessment. Program participants demonstrated an increase in overall understanding of information given in the occupation-based program, apart from the shame category. Group-based occupational therapy interventions designed to address factors of resilience from social skills and budgeting, to understanding life roles as a woman in sobriety may be an effective way to increase occupational engagement and wellness, and further facilitate recovery through discovery of an occupational identity outside of the context of addiction.
