Lee,

    I think you need more information. Are the mentally ill folks also
    mentally handicapped? If they are you have to watch doing something
    that uses fine motor skills - you want them to be successful. If
    there are also handicapped you want something simple like beading
    (which) most people really enjoy. You can also do some metal
    embossing, though I'd use precut shapes and avoid the saw. The cold
    connections also sounds like a good idea. Once again I'd use precut
    shapes (metaliferous has tons). 

    Also what class size do you expect? Are there going to be any
    helpers? What level are these folks functioning? 

Hope this helps
