Alternate title:  Challenges and opportunities: identifying meaningful occupations in low-income, racialized communities in North End Halifax Meaningful occupations in low-income, racialized communities in North End Halifax Description:  113 pages ; 28 cm. Notes:  "Report written by: Ingrid R.G. Waldron, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, School of Occupational Therapy, Faculty of Health Professions, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia"--Cover. "December 3rd, 2010"--Cover. Printed on one side of each page. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 100-109). Summary:  "This research unpacks the concept of "meaningful occupations" through the voices and stories of Aboriginal and African Nova Scotian community members in North End, Halifax. Occupational therapy defines "occupations" as goal-directed activities and pursuits that occupy people's time andlives, including work, study, recreation and leisure. This research uses narrative data to examine the various factors that offer or limit opportunities for accessing and participating in meaningful occupations in these communities. It focuses on the subjective experience of occupation, in particular, how the choice of and participation in specific occupations convey and express individual and community values, beliefs, identity, spirituality and community belongingness. Also of concernin this research is the relationship between occupation and environment, in particular how the environment in the North End shapes occupational choices. Finally, the research examines the relationship between meaningful occupations and health, with health being understood holistically as the interconnection between spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health and well-being."--From summary of project description. Research objectives: The main project objective is to identify how community agencies in the North End can engage low-income racialized communities in meaningful occupations. The project's other objectives are: To examine how low-income racialized individuals and communities in the North End conceptualize meaningful occupations; To identify the personal, social and economic factors that may create barriers to accessing and participating in meaningful occupations among low-income racialized individuals and communities in the North End; and To examine how organizational structures, policies and service delivery within community agencies determine access to meaningful occupations among low-income racialized individualsand communities in the North End.
