Farming 4 Care: Using nature to cultivate resilience in young people

该项目旨在探讨被动和主动接触自然如何影响经历过创伤、虐待和家庭破裂的年轻人的结果。这些人非常脆弱，但经常从系统中溜走。由于他们很少接受传统疗法，非传统干预措施可能是一种可行的替代办法，应加以探索和利用。此外，传统的干预措施耗资巨大，对这一群体的成功微乎其微。该项目采用创新的多学科设计，计划测试关于自然参与的四个假设，以促进不断增长的基于自然的干预领域。我们的方法提供了一种替代方案，利用现有的社区资源，使当地组织，年轻人和农民受益。

This project aims to explore how passive and active engagement with nature might influence outcomes for young people who have experienced trauma, maltreatment and disrupted families. These people are extremely vulnerable, but often slip through the system. As they rarely engage in traditional therapy, non-traditional interventions may offer a viable alternative that should be explored and harnessed for this population. In addition, traditional interventions are delivered at enormous cost and with minimal success for this group. Using an innovative multidisciplinary design, the project plans to test four hypotheses about nature engagement to contribute to the growing field of nature-based interventions. Our approach offers an alternative that draws on existing community resources and benefits local organisations, young people and farmers.
