A live-in mental health facility for youth experiencing severe trauma is in need of support to renovate their outdoor space

A local live-in facility that supports youth, 13-17 who are faced with severe mental health issues, often caused by trauma and family dynamics, is looking for the support of their greater community to renovate the outdoor garden space. Currently, the outdoor area is not being used by the teens due to the fact that it's in desperate need of improvement to create an environment that is safe, peaceful and inviting. Having a comfortable outdoor garden for the teens to use for therapeutic programs such as art therapy, gardening, meditation and relaxation techniques will have a huge impact on their overall recovery. The organisation is looking for materials which can be used by a volunteer landscape architect to renovate the space.
