CLEVELAND, Feb. 3, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hopewell therapeutic farm community has just published an e-book covering the farm's approach to treating mental illness, according to Rick Karges, Hopewell executive director/CEO.
"This e-book is designed to provide insights into the Hopewell model," said Karges. "Our record of success is impressive. We create personalized plans along with a comprehensive strategy of clinical and holistic approaches to help every individual succeed."
The e-book puts a spotlight on Hopewell as a true working farm, one of only a few in the country. A wide range of therapies is featured at Hopewell, including a nature studies group, equine-assisted learning, interpersonal relationship skills, spirituality, meditation and group counseling.
