- Abstract
There are few studies on refugees receiving peer-support and even fewer on refugees in peer-supported programs that help address occupational deprivation (OD). The Doctoral Capstone (DC) project at Catholic Charities Indianapolis (CCI) implements a peer-supported program that provides financial literacy to refugees to gain practical knowledge, confidence, and social support in order to address OD. A peer mentor facilitated two workshop sessions at each small group of refugee clients. Pre-& post-workshop surveys and assessments were given to two groups of participants to measure their outcomes. All five participants in one group achieved an increase in financial knowledge, overall confidence, and perceived support. Two participants in the second group also showed improvement in financial knowledge and increase in perceived support. Occupational therapy (OT) in resettlement agencies like CCI must assume sociocultural roles by enabling refugees to participate in occupation-based programs supported by fellow peer mentors to address OD.
