What's new at Second Chance?  Fruit, Vegetables, Herbs and Art!

Our new garden is a wonderful therapeutic outlet providing a peaceful retreat where victims can find solace to manage stress and anxiety.

Nurturing plants can be calming and healing.  It allows victims to regain a sense of control and empowerment as they nurture and watch their plants grow.​  Successfully growing plants and creating a garden can boost self-esteem and confidence. It provides a sense of achievement and accomplishment, which is important for rebuilding self-worth.  Gardening fosters a connection with nature, which has been shown to have positive effects on mental health. It encourages mindfulness and a sense of being part of something larger than oneself.  

Overall, gardening offers a therapeutic and empowering activity that can aid in the healing and recovery process for domestic violence victims, contributing to their overall well-being and resilience.
