Farm-Based Therapy

Farm-Based Therapy is an approach that uses activities on a farm—such as caring for animals, gardening, or farming tasks—to promote mental health and well-being. Engaging with nature and working with animals can help reduce stress, improve mood, and build confidence. This therapy is often used to support individuals dealing with mental health issues, trauma, or developmental challenges, providing a calming and purposeful environment that encourages physical activity, social interaction, and a sense of accomplishment. It combines natural surroundings with therapeutic structured activities to foster emotional resilience and personal growth.
