“…This difference is likely a reflection of the conceptual model and origins of the two SF types. Consumer/survivor-run businesses were conceived by and for people with a mental health condition in the 1980s in reaction to the then-existing vocational programs (Mandiberg, 2016), mental health system, and mainstream professional services, which they viewed as "bureaucratic and paternalistic" (Nelson, Ochocka, Janzen, & Trainor, 2006, p. 270). The consumer movement focuses on personhood and citizenship, as opposed to "clienthood," in which the individual is surrounded by a "sea of services" (McKnight, 1995).…”

Social firms (SFs) are an appealing model for people with a mental health condition who are having difficulties maintaining their employment in a competitive labour market. The goal of this study is to compare the availability of work accommodations in two types of Canadian SFs, by interviewing supervisors working in adapted enterprises and consumer/survivor-run businesses, and by obtaining the perceptions of the workers with a mental health condition regarding the usefulness of these accommodations. Results indicate accommodations in both types of SFs are readily available and useful. A significant difference between the two types of SFs is the availability of a job coach whose presence workers found useful in adapted enterprises. Natural supports from stakeholders (e.g., supervisors, job coach) are important for work sustainability.

“…Though contemporary social enterprise models providing health services began to emerge in North America in the early 1990s (Calò, Teasdale, Donaldson, Roy, & Baglioni, 2018;Mandiberg, 2016) as a novel response to addressing disparities faced in the public health system (Macaulay, Roy, Donaldson, Teasdale, & Kay, 2017), governments have only recently begun to formally acknowledge and emphasize the role these organizations play in supporting people experiencing serious adverse mental health symptomology (Buhariwala, Wilton, & Evans, 2015). A similar rise in empirical interest about how social enterprise models may address health inequities has been witnessed over the past two decades (Suchoweska et al, 2020).…”

The following study sought to examine the social impact of a social enterprise mental health services model by assessing its impact on service accessibility and mental health stigma. A novel approach to case study – a mixed methods design was developed by collecting data from service users, counsellors, and community members of a social enterprise in Toronto, Ontario, using qualitative interviews and the Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS) survey. Findings show how the social enterprise increases service access and challenges mental health stigma by engaging in a variety of activities, including providing low--cost counselling, diversifying services, offering a positive and safe non--clinical environment, and engaging with the public directly by utilizing a storefront model. As a result of data triangulation analysis, common themes and discrepancies between respondent groups are identified and discussed. No significant relationships were found between mental health stigma and community member demographic characteristics. Insights on replication of this social impact assessment model are discussed.

“…Previous research has, however, mainly focused on entrepreneurial endeavours such as social cooperatives and consumer-run services (eg. Krupa, 1998;Mandiberg, 2016;Trainor & Tremblay, 1992) where individual founders, in comparison with SUEs, hold a less central position. Furthermore, the accessibility and reach of participatory media potentially contributes to a growth in both number and influence of more individualised expressions.…”
