🌿 Hope Grows Here: Healing at The Farm 🌿 At Andrus’s Hope Space: The Farm, healing isn’t just something we talk about – it’s something we experience. Whether it’s feeding the animals, finding peace in nature, or sharing a warm meal together, the farm is a place where connection and care come to life. Thanks to Corine’s leadership, the farm has become a true gathering space – when the weather allows – where moments like Breakfast on the Farm bring together caring, calm community, and a little bit of countryside magic. Here, children learn empathy by tending to animals, discover emotional balance in the rhythm of nature, and find comfort in the simple joy of being outside. It’s an extension of the therapeutic care and unwavering support we provide every day at Andrus. 🐾 Want to see more?
