Tasks Unlimited provides supported employment, housing and mental health recovery services for people with serious and persistent mental illness so that they achieve a full life with the rights and responsibilities of adults. Tasks Unlimited bases its program on the Fairweather Lodge Model developed by Dr. George Fairweather in 1963. Based on the his research, people with serious mental illness who live and work together were less likely to return to the hospital and were more likely to stay in the community and continue to work.
