 My second placement involved immersion in one of the few remaining “supported workshops” still operating. This allowed me to gain first-hand knowledge of the importance that being employed had to its clients (or “employees”). Participation in the occupations this site offered allowed its clients clear structure, and a sense of purpose they may have not been able to achieve in their lives. To “Do” -The concept of doing includes purposeful, goal-oriented activities; doing has been a traditional preoccupation of occupational therapy (Hammell, 1998a).
 Slides 1, 4, 7, 19 depict employees getting on with their daily occupations within their respective sites To “Be” -Being has been defined as time taken to reflect, be introspective or meditative, (re)discover the self, savour the moment, appreciate nature, art or music in a contemplative manner and to enjoy being with special people (Hammell, 1998a).
 Slides 12, 14, 16, 17, 20, and 21 illustrate some of the initiatives and organisations that allow people to “Be”. To “Become” -“Becoming” describes the idea that people can envision future selves and possible lives, explore new opportunities and harbour ideas about who or what they wish to become over the course of their biographies and how their lives might be experienced as worthwhile (Hammell, 1998a).
 Slides 8, 9, 10, 13, 18 depict individuals in situations geared toward allowing them to progress in their daily lives and in the case of slide 18 the possible outcomes of this progression. To “Belong” -Rebeiro et al. (2001) used the term belonging to describe the necessary contribution of social interaction, mutual support and friendship, and the sense of being included, to occupational performance and life satisfaction.
 Slides 3, 5, and 11 depict the clients of workshops as “belonging” to the organisation as a valued member whereas slide 6 shows an organisation that gives the supported environment that its clients need.

 Ethical considerations The first consideration and possibly the most direct was that of asking the individuals in my own personal images for their consent. Secondly was that the images taken from online sources were from reputable sites and not any social networking sites. Thirdly was the necessity to keep the individauls anonymous.
