The TAP Programme in New York City — One Year On

Abstract

Last summer we published an article about the work of INCube Inc. ‐ a consumer‐led consultancy in New York that helps former psychiatric patients create their own jobs in businesses they have founded themselves. Such a lot of interest was created by this article ‐ and by the founder of INCube, Mimi Kravitz, at the Life in the day Annual Conference ‐ that we have decided to follow up on the development of this work. The first article presents the first results of the TAP (Technical Assistance Program for Recipients) programme.The unique features of the programme are described and discussed in detail ‐ the author is the programme director, Gerold Schwarz. The second article by Liz Ruddle of Milton Keynes MIND is an account of a visit to the programme in New York and her thoughts about INCube from a UK standpoint.
