| Abstract: | A three-year $54,000 grant has provided an opportunity for students in the Master of Occupational Therapy Programs at The University of Findlay to complete Level II fieldwork experiences in a community mental health setting. Occupational Therapy Program faculty and Level II fieldwork students were involved in the evaluation and intervention process for individuals who have severe mental illness and were participating in a supported employment program. After the first year of completion with the addition of these occupational therapy services, results indicate a 69% increase in secured competitive employment for individuals who have participated in this grant project. |
