Join the Cloverlea Foundation in partnership with the Pierce Street Gateway for the Wellness in Nature series! SPONSORED by Centra Bedford Memorial Hospital This ongoing series explores the profound benefits and healing powers of nature across the Seven Dimensions of Wellness: Physical, Intellectual, Environmental, Vocational, Social, Emotional, and Spiritual. Our October program will focus on emotional health and wellness at Mae&rsquo;s Haven at the Ayers Family Farm in southern Bedford County. In recognition of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, we&rsquo;ll explore the role that nature, animals, connection, and community can play in supporting our emotional wellbeing. Mae&rsquo;s Haven provides immersive farm animal experiences in a beautiful natural setting, offering meaningful opportunities for people processing grief and navigating mental health journeys.
