Ms Helen Doherty:

-----and other opportunities. Often it is not about farming at all. It is often about opening other doors in the community for people. We have had people engage in various other supports in the community. I heard a young woman on a farm this week who would not leave the house previously. When she was in the care of CAMHS, she was not able to leave the house. The first thing that she engaged with was social farming. She is now re-engaging in other things in our community and in education as well. That is transformative. As Deputy Kenny said, it is a small thing in somebody's life that transformed their life at the right time.

Those choices are being made by occupational therapists, social workers, community mental health teams, youth services, Foróige and the justice system right across the board all over the country. We have huge experiences being had by people and transformative ones.
