work and idleness, people will almost always choose work. Regardless 
of our station in life, the conditions of our body and minds, or the 
amount of money in our bank accounts, the need to work remains one of 
our strongest drives. Work is central to our lives, and as such, 
gives a large measure of structure to our days. Common sense tells us 
that we feel better about ourselves when we are working 
regularly."  Robert Drake, MD from his book A WORKING LIFE FOR PEOPLE 
WITH SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS by Deborah R. Becker & Robert E. Drake

How do we become a more inclusive society?
What are the rights of people with disabilities, particularly people 
with psychiatric disabilities?
What are the challenges posed by the assertion of these rights and 
what protections are offered under the law?
