Enhancing understanding of those recovering from mental illness New Life Interactive Farm in Tuen Mun is a social enterprise that provides work opportunities for individuals recovering from mental illness, as well as spreading awareness and compassion for those in recovery and promoting environmental conservation. Its residents take part in vocational training through its restaurant, lead farm tours and produce eco-friendly products which are sold to sustain the farm. HandsOn volunteers visit the farm throughout the year, both by joining its tours and by creating eco-friendly items in their workshops. New Life Interactive Farm is part of the New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association, which provides a comprehensive range of quality community-based rehabilitation services for people with mental illness in Hong Kong. |
