• Resumen

  • A central theme of our current practice guidelines, as expressed in the title, is to advance a vision for health, well-being, and justice through occupation (Townsend & Polatajko, 2013). Since I became the editor of CJOT, I have taken the liberty of using my editorial platform to lend my voice to the call to act on that vision, to enable our clients, and ourselves, to realize possibilities. [...]many have limited occupational repertoires and may fill their time with harmful occupations, such as substance abuse or gang involvement. [...]people who are homeless are often limited by their homelessness from engaging in meaningful occupations.
