Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Statement of the Problem: One approach related to addressing patients’ rights that may provide a meaningful basis for conceptualizing the rights of people with disabilities is the Capability or Capabilities Approach. People with mental illness typically experience challenges which can be related to Nussbaum’s Central Human Functional Capabilities (CHFCs). Purpose: To explore the views of Canadian occupational therapists related to the CHFCs and their understanding and perceived relevance, with respect to their professional practice. Methods: An exploratory sequential mixed methods design was used. Phase One of the study consisted of a qualitative exploration of the views of occupational therapists about the CHFCs based on interviews. Findings generated from the qualitative study informed the development of a questionnaire survey that was used to collect data from a larger population of Canadian OTs. Conclusion: Results indicated that CHFCs are related to mental health practice. CHFCs can be considered as a client-centered approach and a framework for health and well-being when working with clients with mental health issues.
