Mind Span Wellness is centered on creating communities that focus on independent and therapeutic lifestyles for those living with mental illness. Through these integrated communities we will bridge the problems of social stigma related to mental illness in pursuit of a healthy and inclusive society.

We have seen the lack of resources as well as the social stigma associated with mental illness and are striving to find solutions from within the community to create mutual, sustainable and affordable relationships.
Micro-farming is not a new concept, and neither is work therapy for mental illness. However, few have ever combined the two and that is our goal : to create a residential living and work facility for those affected with mental illness.
