An occupational therapy approach to addressing mental health needs post-disaster and facilitating PTG is the use of the Recovery Model outlined by SAMHSA (Pizzi, 2015). The Recovery Model consists of 10 components: self-directed, individualized and client-centered, empowerment, holistic, nonlinear, strengths-based, peer support, respect, responsibility, and hope. The Recovery Model can be used as a frame of reference for community- and population-based occupational therapy intervention in disaster recovery. Based on research of survivors' reactions to Hurricane Sandy, Pizzi (2015) identified potential occupational therapy interventions for each of the 10 components.
