摘要

本研究的主軸是研究者參與開創桃源二村有機農場行動歷程的反思，以及此行動中衍生出的精神障礙者的勞動與權益倡導議題之分析與討論。

桃源二村有機農場是一個以協助精神障礙者獲得勞動機會與權益倡導的場域，行動的目的是希望透過「勞動」的參與讓精神障礙者褪去「病人」角色，重回「人」的角色，工作者與精神障礙者以夥伴關係、共同參與討論與決策的方式共同推展整個行動。在行動的過程中透過「勞動模式」、「薪資模式」、「權益倡導」的機制，讓參與行動的精神障礙者開始有了不同的生活期待、勞動能力展現、與社會建立關係，並重拾身為「人」所擁有的自主性。

而研究者也在行動過程中進行反思，更深切地瞭解到精神障礙者在面對「勞動」議題的期待與需求，行動的歷程需要與參與的精神障礙者不斷地對話、尊重他們的需求與思考，和協助他們自我充權，才能達成行動的目的。

最後，本研究藉由分析桃源二村有機農場的勞動及權益倡導的實踐經驗，期望帶給實務工作者在服務精神障礙者時能有一個不同的視角，來理解精神障礙者的勞動能力以及對工作的需求。
