The Crafting COmmuniTy Coalition (C3) aims to promote occupational engagement in female refugees by addressing occupational deprivation and marginalization. The 12-week program will join female refugee participants with occupational therapy students as interventionists, volunteer business consultants, volunteer artists, and sponsoring community-based social service organizations in a collaborative business venture. Utilizing the Community Coalition Action Theory and the Health Belief Model, C3 seeks to increase participants' perceived levels of self-efficacy and well-being by fostering entrepreneurial and self-care skills. Drawing from research that indicates the value of collective occupation, social support, and the promotion of purpose and belonging within a spiritually and culturally inclusive environment, C3 seeks to confirm occupational therapy's role as a critical discipline in refugee service provision.
