Abstract

'Income Generation Programs (IGPs)' for patients are practiced at psychiatric rehabilitation centers for vocational training or productive engagement. IGPs are similar to work programs with the added benefit of the opportunity to generate revenue and contribute to patients' income. Based on our experience and visits to several psychiatric rehabilitation centers running IGPs, we conceptualize how existing work programs can be translated into IGPs and/or new IGPs can be established. We also discuss the benefits of IGPs, the facilitators and challenges, and various stakeholders' roles.
