What is Social Permaculture, and how can it be used as a tool in mental health and care work?
The Social PEAS (Social Permaculture: Empowering an Active Society) project was created to develop permaculture training for professionals working with vulnerable adults, such as people suffering from mental health issues, people with physical and intellectual disabilities, (former) drug or alcohol users, migrants, and elderly people.
