Found an amazing organisation on the internet this weekend...The Institute of Community Research which is based in the United States. Their aim is "research partnerships for healthy communities". They have a detailed website listing detailing past and present projects. Totally inspiring, I would highly recommend a visit.
This year a number of our classes at polytech have included a shift in focus from working with individuals to working alongside communities and populations. We have looked at the principles and application of health promotion and community development. Participatory action research fits well with this new orientation in occupational therapy.
