Health outcomes are not just about individual choices but are also deeply connected to broader social, economic, and cultural factors that can privilege some groups and disadvantage others.
Health Environments are designed to enhance mental well-being through diverse activities, situated on preserved land away from schools, health centers, and hospitals. Each site’s design is tailored to address local needs and data sourced from the area’s main hospital’s annual report.
Horticulture therapy entails involving individuals in gardening activities with the aim of achieving specific therapeutic objectives and enhancing overall well-being.
Horses are highly sensitive animals that respond to human emotions and body language. Through interactions with horses, individuals can learn to recognize and regulate their own emotions, leading to improved emotional resilience and self-awareness.
