Our Community-Based Mental Health Programming

The Planted Brain provides a continuum of trauma-informed mental health services designed to strengthen individuals, organizations, and communities. From therapeutic horticulture and support groups to organizational partnerships and individual therapy, our programs foster healing, resilience, and meaningful connection.
