This week we’re shedding some light on how various farming activities and spending time in nature can be good for mental health, specifically PTSD, anxiety, stress, and depression. We discuss a few of the great organizations that are making a difference in the lives of soldiers returning from combat as well as homeless individuals, and how participants leave these programs armed with valuable farming skills and knowledge.
