Abstract
Abstract The development of entrepreneurial businesses is described as an integral part of psychosocial rehabilitation programs for men and women with a serious mental illness. The benefits of an agency-run business in attracting new persons to the overall program are emphasized, particularly where other employment opportunities in the community are slim. In addition, agency-run businesses can increase an agency's visibility and result in additional competitive employment opportunities. The challenges in merging dual missions are also addressed, including steering the business to solvency and facilitating career ladders for good employees who deserve a menu of employment options.
