Abstract
This research study portrays work initiatives for persons with serious mental illness in Canada. It considers 2 earlier papers on vocational programs and services to point out developments and current status in the field. Through a content analysis of documents collected from work initiatives across Canada, core values, models, and practices in the area of work integration are presented. Findings point to a consistent belief in the capacity of consumers to develop their work potential, to engage in the labour force, and to experience the many benefits of work. Results also reveal evidence of an increased emphasis on consumer initiatives, partnerships within the community, and negotiation of environmental factors, including workplace accommodations. Examples of work initiatives are provided, and suggestions for further research are offered.
