| Working Like Crazy is a fresh look at the struggles and victories of some former mental health patients who work in businesses owned and run by other psychiatric survivors. Labelled "unemployable" they have given themselves a safe space among peers. A place where they can earn an income and rebuild their lives.
Laurie spent years in psychaitric isolation and now runs a courier business; Diana has transformed rage and family violence into work for the Ontario Council for Alternative Businesses; since Graham has a job at Fresh Start Cleaning, his plan is "to get back to being a man"; now that Susan works as a courier, she can afford to care for her pets - and the neighbourhood kids don't think she's so crazy anymore. These and other stories reveal a rare glimpse of this complex community.
Working Like Crazy is about alternatives to conventional community mental health and economic development.
