"Healthy and Safe Start is an integrated response and support program for vulnerable high risk pregnant women, birthing people, and their families tailored to individual needs. The program is delivered by a team of midwifery, housing, domestic violence, and child and family support workers. The team is in a community-based agency providing health and human services to people experiencing housing insecurity and other challenges.

This presentation will share the findings of a project which explored how staff in seven gardens across Scotland work to provided mental health support to local communities.  The findings centre the experiences and challenges faced by social and therapeutic horticulture practitioners, an emerging profession which works across the boundaries of health, social care and horticulture.  It will consider the crucial role of social and therapeutic horticultural practitioners in the field of community mental health, considering implications for training, funding and theory for practice developments in the future.  

Social and therapeutic horticulture for mental health

Globally, there is a growing concern about substance use and misuse among young people. South Africa is no exception to this global challenge. Young people between 14 and 35 years are at a developmental stage where they are in search of their identity and a sense of belonging.  Ke Moja is a national substance abuse prevention program in South Africa. Based on a multi-case study design, this research evaluates the impact and implementation of this community-based approach to improving health and well-being amongst young people.
