Stay healthy during this time of COVID-19 and think of those with mental health needs
"Bridging the divergence of mental health and personal well-being through independent living and therapeutic lifestyle."
"Bridging the divergence of mental health and personal well-being through independent living and therapeutic lifestyle."
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as “a state of well-being in which an individual can realize his or her own potential, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and make a contribution to the community.”
Wellness is more than being free from illness: it is a process of change and growth towards a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle. Through our MindSpan Wellness Communities we will offer, not just supervised independent living facilities, but opportunities to work, learn and socialize in a nurturing environment. This is key to developing wellness as a whole for each individual and, in the end, for our community as a whole.
More importantly, this will be available and affordable to all.
Everything we do relates to our well-being and directly affects our mental and emotional state-of-mind.
We will propose the latest in therapy programs as well as music and art therapy, occupational training and opportunities to participate and work on the on-site community farm and gardens.
This will help integrate our residents as participating members of their communities and help eliminate the stigma of mental illness.
CRESH has initiated the research of supported housing residential facilities to develop a comprehensive database for both health professionals and the patients or their families.
In addition, through their research, they will be developing standards and measures by which these supported housing facilities can be assessed to promote on-going quality of care.
