Abstract: Community development and population-oriented approaches are emphasized to advance the occupational therapy profession's scope of practice to meet the increasing demands created by socio-cultural-political and economic changes. This study explored the practice processes of occupational therapists in community settings outside existing health care structures in Germany. Data was gathered through five individual qualitative interviews and one focus group and analyzed using thematic analysis. Three main themes were identified: navigating parallel processes within the larger context or system; building community connections through occupation; growing professional identity. The utilization of occupational science concepts was essential to work successfully on a community level.
