Put simply, it is our own lack of patience and tolerance towards those who are programmed with different social understandings from us that leads to the systematic exclusion of huge numbers of capable and high-potential people from roles that would allow them to achieve their self-actualised potential. Or maybe the commercial and target-driven nature of capitalism simply doesn’t allow for that kind of patience and freedom, even within the non-profit sectors. In this world, Time and Money are King and Queen.................... This means that we are MUCH more health-centred than profit-centred at the moment. But since we are all about health, I feel this reflects a sense of integrity to our core values and mission. Plus, money cannot buy you health, so on balance we feel this prioritisation of health over profit is a very worthwhile exploration into a sustainable business model of the future. Would be nice to think business could be more health centred. Am sure people who have or have had serious mental illness have potential even if they can't tolerate the rigours of a normal working day and the hours and concentration expected. Working for oneself requires such a lot of mental and physical energy (and paperwork) it is a big ask. Each person is different though.

I see no reason why this model could not be emulated for mental health. i agree, however i also think it's highly complex as to how human / equal rights can be applied to all the areas health & social issues goes into.

Another sad thing is that mental illness can result in a lot of creativity and artistry but those are areas where it is arguably quite difficult to make any money.
Also just personally I wouldn't necessarily want to work in a field related to mental health just because I had had mental illness, it can be rather difficult going over the same subjects/ground.
