I Want To Be

Hear stories of three individuals who have prospered in spite of living with a serious mental illness. Demonstrating the value of meaningful work and supportive employers, "I Want To Be" will inspire those who are living with a mental illness to know they can succeed, employers to appreciate that hiring people with a mental illness is good for business and professionals in the mental health and vocational rehabilitation fields that their partnership with people striving to make a better life can pay dividends. An Introduction to the Film by Governor Christine Gregoire establishes the commitment of the state of Washington to become a leader in the employment of individuals living with a mental illness and that their success benefits us all.

"I Want To Be" was developed as part of the Mental Health Division’s Systems Transformation Initiative from the WA State Department of Social and Health Services and was a joint effort by the Mental Health Division, Washington Institute on Mental Health Research and Training, the University of Washington, Harborview Medical Center, and the film’s production company Hero Labs, with funding support from SAMHSA.
