Therapeutic environment

We provide a therapeutic environment for people living with mental health conditions such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Research shows that outdoor activity can improve mental wellbeing and help people better manage their mental health problems. Spending time outdoors for therapeutic activity such as gardening or exercise is a recognised, effective treatment for mental health problems that can be prescribed by GPs. It is a cost-effective alternative to medication and psychological therapy, and can be used to compliment the treatment a person is already receiving.

Bridge Community Farms offers a space for people with mental health problems to get involved in helping to run the farm, working in the fresh air to achieve tangible goals.
