17 international occupational therapy experts provided feedback via an online survey.
Qualitative data from the survey was analyzed using content analysis.

Main Results:

Eight key recommendations emerged from stakeholder feedback.
Recommendations included emphasizing social justice, meaningful activity, and peer support.
The framework was refined to incorporate these recommendations, addressing areas like substance misuse and health needs.
