Crocus Co-op is a unique organization within the mental health services community. It is basically self help but features close co-operation with supportive non consumers. Originally modeled after Fountain House of New York State, Crocus incorporates two concepts of proven value. One is that a close partnership of consumers and interested non consumers is far more productive than mental health consumers working by themselves. The other idea is that providing suitable work for mental health consumers solves a lot of problems. Thus Crocus features a built in bridge to the community.
