Get involved: become involved in the community and promote occupational therapy, as well as build your network. Bring value to others: how do you successfully build your network? You look for opportunity to help others.

This article discusses the struggles patients go through when living with COPD. The article describes the way that COPD prevents patients from participating in occupations, and causes patients to forfeit roles that they have had throughout their lives. It also discusses the way that these changes lead to depression and anxiety. The article then goes into detail of the ways occupational therapists can provide energy conservation techniques that will allow the patients to regain those roles and participate in occupation and reduce anxiety and depression.

This systematic review evaluated and asked the main clinical question, "What occupational therapy interventions are effective in the rehabilitation of individuals with work-related low back injuries and illnesses?". Findings indicated that the evidence is insufficient to support or refute the effectiveness of exercise therapy and other conservative treatments for sub-acute and chronic low back injuries. However, this review supports that interventions should be holistic and client-centered through multiple OT strategies; specifically including activities that address clients' psychosocial needs in addition to his or her physical impairments.
