    Building Age-Inclusive Communities
    (Elsevier, 2024-01-01) Rudman, Debbie Laliberte; Perkinson, Margaret A.; Kantartzis, Sarah; McGrath, Colleen; Womack, Jenny; Barney, Karen Frank; Perkinson, Margaret A.; Rudman, Debbie Laliberte
    Age-inclusive communities are broadly defined as communities that enable the participation of all members across the age spectrum. Given the centrality of occupation within age-inclusive communities, it is vital that occupational therapists are part of ongoing intersectoral and interdisciplinary efforts to build such communities and do so in partnership with older adults. Two broad models that address key contextual elements central in building age-inclusive communities are presented in this chapter, including the widely used World Health Organization’s (WHO) Age-Friendly Cities and Communities Framework (WHO, 2007) and a more recent critically informed Model of Social Exclusion proposed by Walsh et al. (2017). In addition, the chapter draws on contributions from various occupational therapy scholars who provide examples of concepts and processes that can inform occupational therapy practice aimed at contributing to age-inclusive communities, pointing to diverse possibilities and the centrality of collaboration with older adults and community stakeholders. © 2025 Elsevier Inc., its licensors, and contributors.

    Aging Adults and Mental Health: Engaging in Meaningful Occupations
    (Elsevier, 2024-01-01) Selingo, Lauren Angela; Perryman-Fox, Michelle; Patel, Vimita; Grossberg, George; Stoffel, Virginia C.
    This chapter provides introductory knowledge regarding older adult’s mental health factors and diagnoses, barriers, and facilitators to engagement in desired and needed occupations. Older adults can experience changes in their occupational functioning, physical, and mental health that warrant occupational therapy mental health services, though actors such as ageism, lack of accessibility, and practitioner gaps in knowledge can impact mental health care access. In serving older adults in mental health settings, occupational therapy practitioners can use a variety of screening and assessment tools, including the occupational profile, in collaborating with the older adult to identify critical occupations and personal goals for treatment. Interventions can address prevention, health and wellness promotion, medication management, cognitive and emotional regulation, instrumental and activities of daily living, grief, leisure, socialization, and more. Interprofessional care team members collaborate with occupational therapists across the therapy process in ensuring holistic care for older adults with mental health challenges and prepare older adults for discharge and health maintenance. Across the chapter, two case studies are used to explore these occupational therapy processes for two older adults who engage in occupational therapy services. © 2025 Elsevier Inc., its licensors, and contributors.

    The Future of Theory in Occupational Therapy
    (Routledge, 2025-03-31) Pollard, Nick; Kantartzis, Sarah; Taff, Steven D.; Ikiugu, Moses N.
    Occupational therapy is about to meet a slow explosion of possibilities. The nature of work and the nature of societies will change through the greater emphasis to be placed on artificial intelligence (AI), and the crisis of climate change and associated global health issues. These changes will not be overnight but will be seen over the coming years as, for example, we see further innovation and development in AI and the effects of climate change take hold. Old systems and technologies, together with patterns of everyday life, will co-exist with the new ones, for example, an increased emphasis on preventative health. Theoretical development will remain a challenge for occupational therapy in these changing contexts. The sociodemographic conditions that create the demand for the profession may make practice a priority over taking time to explore the consequences of social, technological, and environmental changes and expanding theory. However, the time to begin making occupational therapy theory forward-facing to address these anticipated seismic changes in how humans occupy time and remain healthy is now. We implore the profession’s scholars to embrace this challenge, begin updating theories, and creating new ones that will be effective tools to guide occupational therapy practice in this future world.

    Occupation and Social Transformation with Communities and Populations
    (Routledge, 2025-03-31) Pollard, Nick; Kantartzis, Sarah
    Humans, as social animals, have always engaged in occupations together. The nature of these occupations creates the particular shape of the social world and the shape individual or collective opportunities may take.Although human societies have existed for millennia, the impact of human developments in the last few thousand years, particularly the industrial period, has led to a very rapid social change. Such change is also referred to as social transformation,which can be defined as “the restructuring of all aspects of life; from culture to social relations; from politics to economy; from the way we think to the way we live.” This restructuring can happen through natural disasters and social movements, processes of environmental degradation, political upheaval, innovations in technology, and changes in attitudes and values and vary as to the speed and extent of change. This chapter will begin by presenting how social transformation has been central to the origins and development of occupational therapy. We will then consider the role of social movements in explicit attempts to effect social transformation before exploring contemporary approaches around the contribution of occupation and occupational therapy to socially transformative work.
