Permaculture and Mental Health
"One in four adults and one in 10 children experience mental illness, and many more of us know and care for people who do."
Taking care of ourselves is important, regular exercise, eating healthy and socialising are important. When adversity hits, though, and we face challenging times or situations, our own wellbeing can suffer. Using permaculture design can help you to find the right methods and techniques for creating your own resilience toolkit. It can support you in times of adversity, helping to build emotional and physical resilience.
Peer Support Programme (PSP)
My Peer Support Programme is a weekly coaching programme offering 121 support to community organisations, on how to use a variety of personal resilience tools to build mental resilience. Using The Design Web, a social permaculture framework, the programme runs over 9 or 13 weeks. This programme is also offered privately. See Coaching and Hypnotherapy
​It focuses on using permaculture design, and nature connection to help individuals find a way forward to recovery. Hypnotheraoy is integrated in some sessions to aid relaxation.
Monthly Online Gathering (MOG)
​Each month I will be running free online mental health get togethers, called "Lets Talk About Mental Health". This is an opportunity to meet and share with others, your experience of how you have overcome mental health challenges or find out how you can use permaculture to support your mental health towards recovery.
