Participating in telehealth is a complex occupation

Occupations are complex. The current COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the human need for occupation, their complexity, and the effects of occupational deprivation and disruption (Hammell, 2020). Occupational therapists internationally have recognised how important it is to use our skills for the greater good of humanity to promote occupational participation, social inclusion and social connection (Hammell, 2020; Whiteford, 2020), while also appreciating the inherent qualities of occupations that are too often taken-for-granted (Pereira & Whiteford, 2013).
